Pupils make good progress and attain well for their capabilities. The special educational needs co-ordinator has worked hard to establish high quality practice throughout the school. Governors, the headteacher and staff have reviewed the school's curriculum and implemented more effective planning and challenge in pupils' work. This is reflected by the rising standards in English, Mathematics and Science. 6 standards are now above the national expectation.
Much work remains to be done in fully addressing the issue of pupil assessment.
Whilst the school has established good recording practices, there is insufficient tracking of pupil progress against known potential. Personal targets are not sufficiently used to help move pupils on and the good parental support is not harnessed to supporting pupils' progress. The matter of car parking space and pupils' safety has been well attended to. Whilst overall improvement has been good the school does not sufficiently look beyond the immediate horizon, when evaluating the curriculum and its performance, to ensure a strategic view of development and change. This weakness adversely affects the school's otherwise good capacity for further improvement.
