Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are proud to attend this school. They are happy. Visitors are greeted with warm welcomes and broad smiles. Pupils benefit from an excellent quality of education and pastoral care. High ambition and expectation mean that pupils thrive and achieve exceptionally well in this school.
Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and at social times. Relationships between pupils and staff are very positive and respectful. Pupils look after each other and embrace each other's individual differences. Pupils undertake a wide range of roles and responsibilities, such as being a school safeguarding leader and sport leader. Pupils are wonderful ambassadors for themselves, their teachers and the school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed an ambitious, well-planned and well-sequenced curriculum. This enables pupils' knowledge to deepen over time. The curriculum helps pupils to build on what they already know. This supports pupils to make connections in their learning. For example, in physical education (PE), pupils are taught specific skills, which they then apply to a game. Pupil PE leaders are used very effectively in lessons to promote peers' confidence and motivation.
Leaders ensure that teachers access highly effective training to bring the curriculum to life. Staff are subject experts. They reflect on curriculum plans and make refinements to ensure the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are met. The school has skilfully connected the curriculum in early years to prepare the children for learning in key stage 1.
