The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have driven improvements across the school. The governing body recognises your strengths and the impact you have had on improving teaching and pupils’ outcomes. The student council is involved in school developments and this directly influences changes around the school, for example a new play area is being built following planning and design by the pupils. You, other staff and the governing body have created a culture where both parents and pupils feel that everyone is valued as an individual. Teachers know the children well, not only in their own class but across the school. The strong ties with the community support the caring environment beyond the school gates. Pupils achieve well across the school in reading, writing and mathematics; however, pupils’ progress in mathematics by the end of key stage 2, and the numbers of pupils achieving greater depth in key stage 1, is not as strong as in other subjects. Pupils value their teachers; they like the humour their teachers display but know that there are clear boundaries and high expectations of both their attitudes to learning and behaviour. Pupils conduct themselves well around the school and they are polite and well mannered. They listen attentively in class and learning behaviours are consistently positive. Pupils understand the values of the school and can talk about them with confidence.
