This is an outstanding school. Pupils flourish because this is an exceptionally happy place to learn. They achieve outstandingly well, regardless of their background, age or ability.
Teaching is outstanding. Work is expertly planned to bring out the best in pupils of all abilities and, consequently, pupils reach high standards. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage get off to a great start because staff have expert knowledge and kindle a keen sense of fun.
Teaching throughout the school is better than at the time of the previous inspection because it is very well led. Any relative weaknesses are quickly spotted and eliminated. All staff promote pupils' ...spiritual, moral, social and cultural development extremely well.
Pupils' behaviour is outstanding. Their inquisitiveness and willingness to 'have a go' help them to make excellent progress. Pupils say they feel very safe at school.
They have learned how to keep themselves safe in a variety of situations, such as on the roads and when using computers. The headteacher and deputy headteacher form a highly effective and ambitious hub. They drive improvement with consummate skill and determination to ensure that pupils receive a top-quality start to their education.
The governing body carries out its duties extremely effectively, providing challenge to the school and supporting its work to ensure pupils are happy and successful. All the parents who responded to recent surveys recommend the school unreservedly to others.
Information about this school
The school is smaller than the average for its type.
Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. A smaller-than-average proportion come from minority ethnic groups and very few speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, for whom the school receives additional funding through the pupil premium, is much smaller than average.
In this school, pupils for who this funding is received are all known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion supported through school action plus is also below average.
No pupil has a statement of special educational needs. At the local authority's request, the headteacher provides occasional leadership support for other local schools. Before- and after-school care, located on the site, is run by other providers and is therefore not a part of this inspection.
