Information about this school The school is much larger than the average primary school. The support and care of pupils is of good quality overall. However, they are not challenged to extend themselves consistently or rigorously enough. The most able and most able disadvantaged pupils make good progress. However, outcomes were below average in reading and mathematics. Provisional test results show that pupils achieved above-average standards in writing in 2016.

Pupils in key stages 1 and 2 make good progress. Well-planned activities and an excellent outdoor environment contribute to children consistently making better progress each year. Good manners and respect for others underpin pupils' relationships within this diverse school. Pupils' personal development, their behaviour and safety are good. This enables them to challenge and hold leaders to account for pupils' achievement. They use several approaches to check and confirm the school's effectiveness. These help them to evaluate the school's work and take action quickly to improve its effectiveness. Senior leaders use a range of effective systems to monitor teaching, learning and assessment. These strengths have been maintained against high staff t. Team planning and attention to the needs of pupils contribute to pupils making good progress. Together, they have re-shaped this vision for pupils to 'aspire, achieve' and 'believe' that they can do well. The headteacher has the very able support of the senior and middle leaders, who have a very good understanding of the school's vison. This has been possible because teachers and pupils are expected to 'achieve in every way'. Summary of key findings for parents and pupils This is a good school The strong leadership of the new headteacher ensures that all staff constantly maintain their focus on pupils achieving well.
