Ofsted (2014) noted:

• The school’s outstanding improvement since the last inspection is due to the exceptionally skilled headteacher, the very effective senior leadership team and to high-quality teaching.
• In reading, writing and mathematics, pupils made outstanding progress in 2013-2014 as the school accelerated their learning. At the end of Year 2 in 2014 attainment was above average. This shows outstanding progress from their starting points when joining the school.
• Much of the teaching is outstanding in all years and in most subjects. Teachers plan and teach lessons that enable pupils to learn exceptionally well.
• Teachers have high expectations of all pupils. They use a range of different methods, which capture pupils’ interests and enthusiasm. As a result, all pupils make excellent progress and their achievement is outstanding.
• The senior leadership team check rigorously on the quality of teaching. This means that all teachers know what they do well and what needs improving so that pupils’ needs are fully met.
• Leaders, governors and staff have secured excellence in nearly every aspect of the school’s work since the previous inspection, including teaching and achievement.
• Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. They are polite, caring and courteous, and they show great respect for all members of the school community. Pupils say they feel very safe and they are very well cared for.
• The subjects taught and very caring environment promote pupils’ excellent spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• The outdoor provision for children in Early Years has improved since the previous inspection. This has enhanced their physical well-being and has helped to consolidate their excellent progress.

Since the inspection we have worked hard to continue to improve the school and to maintain the high standards we have set for ourselves. We have been keen to ensure that all of the above remains relevant and more.
