School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education at the school since the previous inspection. You have worked effectively, with teachers and teaching assistants, to improve teaching and learning and the quality of the curriculum. As a result, pupils enjoy school, they attend regularly and they achieve well. Standards at the end of Key Stage 1 are well above the national average in reading, writing and mathematics. Effective teaching in Key Stage 2 means that pupils continue to make good progress in these key areas of learning and are well prepared for the next stage of their education when they leave the school at the end of Year 4. At the previous inspection, inspectors identified some weaknesses in the early years. These included the use of assessment, and inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and learning. Inspectors also found that pupils across the school did not know enough about different faiths, values and cultures. They also said that teaching staff were not making a sufficient contribution to the strategic development of the school. You have been successful in addressing each of these issues. You have overseen significant improvements in the early years provision at the school. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment has improved and is now typically good. Significant improvements have also been made to the outdoor environment, which now provides an exciting environment in which children can learn.
