Leadership and governance - Expected standard. "School leaders act as positive role models to staff."

Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "Pupils' personal development underpins the school's ethos and values."

Achievement - Needs attention. "In recent years, pupils' achievement in national curriculum tests in reading, writing and mathematics at the expected and high standard has been significantly below national averages."

Attendance and behaviour - Needs attention. "Over time, pupils' attendance has been below national averages."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should ensure that staff design learning activities that help pupils to consistently develop the depth of knowledge they need across the curriculum"; "Leaders should ensure that the recent improvements in pupils' achievement are sustained, so that a greater proportion of pupils achieve at least in line with national averages in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6"; "Leaders should continue to build on their strategies to promote regular attendance so that rates of absence reduce over time".
