Overall effectiveness Good
"Pupils enter the school in Reception with knowledge and skills broadly in line with those expected for their age. They then make good progress so that by the time they leave, their achievement is above average."; "Standards in mathematics are especially high by the end of Year 6, while standards in English are above average."; "Teaching is mostly at least good throughout the school."; "Teachers do not always consistently check pupils' learning throughout lessons. As a result, opportunities to make sure learning meets the needs of pupils are sometimes missed. Because of this, progress is not always as fast as it could be."
