OVERALL EVALUATION
This is a good school with some very good and excellent features. The headteacher provides very good leadership and, together with senior managers and governors, has created a school where pupils are happy and enjoy their learning. Teaching is good overall and this helps pupils to achieve well. Pupils are respected and encouraged to give of their best so that by the time they leave school they usually reach average or better standards. The school provides good value for
money.
Progress since the last inspection has been good. Staff have successfully addressed the issues identified in the last report and demonstrate a strong commitment to continual development and improvement. Provision for children in the Foundation Stage (nursery and reception class) is now good. Pupils’ personal and social standards and academic achievement are higher because of the
improvements in teaching and the development of the curriculum.
