Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school
  • ·        Improvements have been made in very many aspects of the school’s work since the last inspection because of the very strong and determined leadership of the headteacher and other school leaders.
  • ·        Teaching is typically good with some outstanding teaching. This is because of the high quality training and coaching provided by leaders, together with a rigorous cycle of checks on teaching.
  • ·        All groups of pupils are making good progress with some making outstanding progress, especially in reading and mathematics. Attainment in both has risen strongly and is well above the national average.
  • ·        Pupils behave exceptionally well and are very polite and well mannered. Their consistently positive attitudes have a very strong impact on the progress they make.
  • ·        Pupils feel very safe, play well together and are able to reflect on their work and have mature discussions about world issues.
  • ·        Governors show a determination to support the school in its quest for further improvement. They check information about pupils’ progress carefully and know what needs to be done to improve.
  • ·        Children in the Reception classes get off to a flying start because teaching and the space provided are both of good quality.
The school will have open mornings at 9:05am on Friday 18th and Friday 25th October and then again on Friday 15th and Friday 22nd November.
