Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Achievement is outstanding. Pupils make excellent progress throughout the school from their starting points.

Their reading, writing and number skills are especially well developed. The headteacher, together with her senior staff and the governing body, has worked hard to maintain strengths and improve standards even further since the last inspection. The teaching is often inspirational and pupils are fully involved in their learning.

Occasionally, teachers do not ensure tasks are appropriately challenging for all pupils. The staff plan and provide excellent, imaginative and creative activities which provide pupils with interestin...g and often exciting tasks, and make excellent links between subjects. The school's systems for checking on the success of its work are exemplary and often used as a model by other schools.

Behaviour is outstanding across the school. This ensures pupils are safe, happy and engaged in learning. They talk about how much they love coming to school.

This is also the view of the large majority of parents and carers. Well-targeted individual support helps those pupils with disabilities or who have special educational needs to make outstanding progress. The money allocated through the pupil premium is used very effectively.
