School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since the last inspection, you, your governors and your senior leaders have resolutely focused on continuing to improve the quality of teaching and learning during a time of significant changes in teaching staff. As a result, standards are rising. New teachers are well supported, and middle leaders play an effective part in the school’s development. The school population has grown substantially and there are now two classes in each year group. The process of change has been managed well, and you have established an inclusive school. This was summed up by one child who was proud to tell me: ‘This is a welcoming school.’ Pupils love their learning. They are polite, well behaved and respectful of one another’s differences. After the previous inspection, the school was asked to raise attainment in phonics and writing. Pupils’ attainment and progress in writing are a strength of the school. Attainment in writing has been significantly higher than that of other pupils nationally for the last three years. The proportion of pupils who met the expected standards in phonics has been above the national figure for Year 1 and Year 2 pupils since 2015. Because of new approaches to the teaching of mathematics, pupils are developing skills in reasoning and problem-solving and tackling more challenging work. This is particularly strong in Years 5 and 6, but there is more to do in lower key stage 2 to move pupils on to work at a level appropriate to their ability quickly enough.
