Your school has improved. You are making excellent progress in your learning right from the start in Nursery. I was very pleased to see that most of you reach Level 4 by the time you leave and quite a few of Year 6 are already well on the way to a Level 5 in English and mathematics. These standards are a great achievement. You should be proud of how hard you work to reach them and so should the staff.

your school has with the local community, support agencies and the local network of schools. Your parents and carers told me just how highly they value the enjoyment you get from school and the patience and hard work of your staff. We have asked senior leaders to look at ways of speeding up the progress of pupils in Years 1 to 6, particularly with your writing and your use of skills to solve problems in mathematics and science. This will help boost their achievement and attainment. You can play your part by continuing to work as hard as you can. Thank you for helping with this inspection. I hope your school will continue to improve. I wish you all a very bright future.
