10. What Ofsted Said..
Pupils’ progress in mathematics has improved significantly, and was outstanding by the time they left school at the end of Year 6 in This is because teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure that pupils know their ‘non-negotiables’, the school’s term for times tables, calculations and problem solving. Pupils are excited about mathematics and relish the opportunity to compete with each other and meet the challenges presented by their teachers.
 Pupils’ excellent writing is evident throughout the school in classrooms, corridors, and in their books. Teachers are very careful to develop their technical writing skills in grammar, punctuation and spelling without stifling their creative skills. Teachers take all opportunities to ensure that pupils can practise their writing skills in all subjects. In 2014 progress across all year groups was outstanding and attainment at the end of Year 6 was well above average.

11. More of what Ofsted said..
The quality of teaching is outstanding and has improved since the previous inspection. Teachers have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the learning needs of all pupils. They set challenging tasks and activities which ensure that pupils are always engaged in their learning and consistently making good or outstanding progress.

12. Class structure 45 children in each year group
Limit of 30 pupils in KS1 classes – statutory
Not in KS2
