Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since the infant and junior schools joined to become one school, leaders and governors have ensured that pupils receive a good quality of education. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good across the school.

This has resulted in most pupils making good progress in English, mathematics and a wide range of subjects. In 2018, pupils' attainment at the end of Year 6, in reading, writing and mathematics, was above the national averages. Consequently, pupils were well prepared for their learning in Year 7.

Governance is good. Governors are effective in their roles and play an important part in the strategic direction of the sch...ool. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Leaders provide good opportunities to develop pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural values. Pupils' behaviour is good. They are respectful, friendly and courteous.

Pupils report that they feel safe at school. Parents are full of praise for leaders' and staff's work. They value the school's caring and community ethos.

Although disadvantaged pupils make progress, their progress could be even better in reading and writing. While pupils enjoy a broad and vibrant curriculum, some of the activities are not demanding enough. Consequently, opportunities to deepen pupils' knowledge and skills in the wider curriculum are overlooked.

Sometimes, pupils do not apply their writing skills well to write in different subjects. This hinders pupils' progress. Children are confident, happy and safe in the early years provision.

They make strong progress from their individual starting points. However, at times, children, including the most able, are not sufficiently challenged to exceed the early learning goals in reading, writing and mathematics.

Information about this school
