“The attainment of pupils leaving the school at the end of Year 6 has risen considerably faster than nationally since the previous inspection. Pupils make good progress to achieve standards that are above average. Attainment in writing shows a great improvement through the introduction of new approaches, such as pupils writing at length after preparing what they are going to say and working on their targets to improve vocabulary.”
