Main findings of the report
What the school does well
- Pupils achieve well and make good progress as they move through the school, so that standards
achieved in English, mathematics and science at the end of Year 6 are well above the national
average.
- The good learning of pupils across the school is promoted well by the good teaching and by the
very good attitudes which they have to their work.
- Provision for children in the Foundation Stage is good, as their curriculum is well organised and
taught and meets the needs of all the children.
- The good provision for pupils' spiritual, social and moral development enables the school to
function as an effective and caring community.
- The very good partnership established with parents encourages them and enables them to
become more involved in their children's learning.
- The work of the learning support assistants makes an important contribution to the standards
pupils attain and the progress they make.

What could be improved
- There are shortcomings in the current school development plan which limit its effectiveness as a
means of planning and evaluating the school's further improvement.
- The standards achieved by pupils across the school in information and communication
technology are not as high as they could be because of lack of consistent access to a sufficient
number of computers.
- Assessment data are not fully used to provide a clear picture of the progress made by each
pupil.
- The physical development of children in the Foundation Stage is limited by lack of regular
access to an appropriately resourced outside play and activity area.
