Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The school has improved because leaders, and especially the headteacher, have stabilised staffing and set high expectations for staff and pupils. Teaching, learning and assessment are good.

This means pupils, from the least able to the most able, are making good progress. The curriculum is planned well. It contains many exciting learning opportunities for the pupils, which they thoroughly enjoy.

Teachers are using the new assessment systems effectively to identify and close gaps in reading, writing and mathematics. Children in the Reception Year make good progress because staff know them well and plan learning that takes account of each c...hild's needs. Pupils' behaviour is outstanding.

Their excellent attitudes contribute greatly to their good progress. Pupils feel secure and know how to keep themselves safe. Leaders give high priority to pupils' welfare, safety and well-being.

The provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent. The teaching of British values is an integral part of everything the school does. Pupils show high levels of care, trust and respect for each other, adults and the environment.

They are very proud of their school. Staff morale is high and the vast majority of parents are very satisfied with the school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils do not pay enough attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation when they mark their own or each other's work.

Teachers do not check pupils' progress often enough in subjects other than English and mathematics. The school improvement plan lacks measureable milestones related to pupils' progress.
