School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Attainment remains high by the end of key stage 2 and pupils achieve well. This includes disadvantaged pupils, who benefit from goodquality teaching and a challenging curriculum. Pupils are very well prepared for the demands of a secondary school curriculum by the time they leave school. Those pupils who need extra help to catch up, including pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, also make good progress. The recommendations made at the previous inspection have been tackled effectively. This includes improvements to the way information and communication technology is used to support learning. Despite these strengths, you have also maintained a keen focus on areas needing further improvement. You and your governors are ambitious for the school and determined that it should be the best it can be. For example, you rightly recognise that more children in the early years should be reaching at least a good level of development by the end of the Reception Year. You are equally determined to improve attainment in key stage 1, particularly in writing. You have also identified that the impact of phonics teaching could be further strengthened. Leaders have not shied away from taking important action where improvements in teaching were needed.
