“Standards are now above average in both Key Stages 1 and 2. Pupils’ progress throughout the school is improving year on year since the last inspection. Pupils’ work and the school’s current progress data shows that pupils are making good progress in English and mathematics in nearly all year groups, although progress is a little slower for a small minority of classes. The school has ensured that additional resources and support are in place for those classes where gains made are less rapid and this is beginning to have a positive impact.”
