Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, governors and staff have high expectations of all the pupils in the school. They work hard to make sure that pupils meet these high expectations, and as a result standards have improved. Pupils' achievement is good.

Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics and are prepared well for the next stage in their education. Reception children make good progress. The proportion reaching a good level of development has risen and is above the national average.

The small number of disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have special educational needs or disability achieve as well as other pupils within the school and... better than all pupils nationally. Pupils are taught that they should behave in an exemplary manner, and they do. They respect and look after each other and thrive within this caring school community.

Teaching is good. Teachers have good subject knowledge and carefully plan pupils' learning. Assessment is used well by teachers to check that pupils have understood what they need to do and can make progress.

Communication with parents is good. They are encouraged, in a wide variety of ways, to come into school and share in their child's learning. The governing body provides good support.

Governors have changed their ways of working and have recruited new members. Their challenge to the school's leadership is effective. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough pupils make more than the expected progress for their age.

Not enough teaching challenges the most able pupils. The talents of the senior and subject leaders have not been fully developed. They are not as effective at planning strategically as they could be.
