Key findings

This is a good school. It prizes the academic achievement and personal development of all its pupils.

A strength is the way in which the school carefully tracks pupils' progress and the high level of support provided for those who find learning difficult or who have specific needs. The school is not judged to be outstanding because the quality of teaching, whilst good, is not outstanding. Pupils make good progress to reach above average standards by the end of Year 6, in English and mathematics.

Over time, standards are higher in English but recent results show that standards in mathematics are improving due to an increased focus on the subject. Teaching is good. Teachers make lessons interest...ing and motivate pupils to learn.

Tasks give the right level of challenge, especially in English, but sometimes in mathematics, work is not well enough matched to ability and marking does not always give pupils sufficient help to improve. Behaviour and safety are good. Pupils are attentive in lessons and behave well around school.

They say they are happy and feel safe. They show tolerance towards those who have difficulty in behaving well. Attendance is above average and few pupils are persistently late or absent.

The quality of leadership and management is good. Leaders stringently monitor teaching and learning. This means they quickly pick up gaps in provision and support staff well in their professional development, leading to improvement.

They ensure an exciting curriculum, linking subjects together in topics. As a result, pupils have good opportunities to write for a range of purposes although they have less chance to use mathematical skills in other subjects.

Information about the school

The school is much larger than the average-sized primary school.

Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below the national average but increasing. The number from minority ethnic groups and those who speak English as an additional language is broadly in line with the national average.

The number of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is average. The school meets the current government floor standards. A daily breakfast club uses the school hall during term time and is managed by the governing body.
