What This School Does Well

This school stands out for its strong, caring leadership and excellent behaviour standards that make learning possible. Teachers know their subjects well and pupils - including those learning English as a second language - make good progress. The school has a wonderful sense of community and provides many enriching experiences that help children develop as well-rounded individuals.

Key Strengths

  • Strong leadership with rigorous checks on teaching quality leading to clear improvements in pupil achievement
  • Pupils' behaviour is excellent and contributes significantly to their learning
  • Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs make good progress with strong support
  • Good progress made by pupils joining partway through the year, many speaking English as an additional language
  • Well-developed spiritual, moral, social and cultural development with strong community values

Areas for Improvement

  • Writing progress does not yet match improvements in reading and mathematics
  • Not all tasks give pupils enough opportunity to write fluently and at length
  • Some work is occasionally too easy for certain pupils
  • Teachers don't always use progress data to plan challenging work, especially for the most able
  • Pupils don't always get enough time to act on feedback about their written work
