This is a good school Pupils at this school are exceptionally well behaved. Staff have a very strong, positive relationship with those in their care.
Pupils are highly supportive of each other, in class and across year groups in their playtime. The pupils have a high sense of duty and responsibility. They have successfully set up their own playground buddy systems.
They fund-raise for charities, organising events with little help needed. New leadership has introduced changes to the curriculum and the ways that teachers teach English and mathematics. Teaching is of a good standard, although sometimes, teachers miss where pupils make errors during their teaching....
Leaders are aware of the school's strengths and weaknesses and are clear about how to bring about improvement. Governors are actively involved in the life of the school. They provide a high level of strategic challenge and support.
Leaders have started a focus on developing knowledge and skills in subjects other than English and mathematics. Pupils' vocabulary is already strengthened, although there are not yet enough opportunities for reading and writing in this wider curriculum. Outcomes are broadly in line with national averages in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of both key stage 1 and key stage 2.
Pupils make good progress from the end of key stage 1 to the end of key stage 2. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They are making good progress from their individual starting points.
In early years, there is a clear focus on developing children's reading, writing and mathematics. Children learn about the wider world and other cultures. Opportunities to develop this understanding and other skills when children are playing are not always taken advantage of.
Attendance is high. Pupils enjoy school and want to attend. Systems in early years to ensure good supervision at all times are not clear enough and need reviewing.
Staff have good awareness of how to keep pupils safe, and communication between staff about concerns is strong. However, the systems for storing records of concerns could be more efficiently organised.
Information about this school
The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school.
The school works closely with local schools in the Framingham Earl cluster. The school has a lower than average proportion of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding. A breakfast and after-school club is provided by an external company, School's Out, which is separately registered and inspected.
