Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

The progress made by all pupils in all key stages is good and compares favourably with national figures. The majority of teaching is good, with some that is outstanding. As a result of good teaching, standards have improved over a three-year period and are above the national average by the end of Year 6.

Relationships are very positive in the school which provides a happy, secure place for pupils to learn, where they feel extremely safe and well cared for by all adults. Pupils behave well in lessons; they are keen, enthusiastic learners and strive to achieve their targets. Around the school, they are polite and courteous.

A rich..., broad curriculum provides pupils with stimulating learning opportunities which motivate them as learners. The headteacher and school leaders have a strong desire to bring about continuous improvement in teaching and learning. They have a clear view about what the school does well and where it could do even better.

They drive the quality of teaching, achievement and the school purposely forward. The staff are fully behind leaders and are equally committed to achieving these shared goals. The school's leaders actively check on the quality of teaching and pupils' progress, and use the information well to improve achievement.

The governing body is well informed about the school's work and is extremely supportive of its work. It robustly monitors the work of the school, provides challenge and rigorously holds the school to account. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching is outstanding, and a small proportion still requires improvement.

Attendance is adversely affected by a small proportion of persistent non-attenders. Opportunities are missed for pupils to apply their mathematical skills in real-life problem-solving situations.

Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is extremely small. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is below the national average.

The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special education needs is below average.

This number has risen over the last three years.

The proportion of pupils who move into or out of the school other than at the usual times is below average.
