Overall effectiveness Good
"This is a good school that has improved in almost every aspect of its work since the previous inspection. Attainment and attendance are high, pupils' achievement and the extent to which they enjoy their learning are exceptional and a very large majority of parents and carers are happy with their child's experience at the school. Better procedures for identifying pupils' learning needs have brought about an improvement in the quality of teaching, so that most pupils make good progress. There is, nevertheless, some variation between classes, because not all teachers use assessment consistently well to build on pupils' prior learning and to set challenging learning goals."
