Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is a happy school where pupils enjoy learning and get along well together. Pupils benefit from nurturing professional relationships with staff. In turn, pupils treat one another with kindness and respect. Pupils assume responsibility for supporting their peers, including as well-being ambassadors who ensure that others are included in the playground.
From the early years, children typically achieve well, particularly in reading and mathematics. Leaders have taken action to improve the curriculum further in a number of areas to deepen pupils' knowledge.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has high ambition for pupils' achievement across all subjects. Recently, leaders have made a number of changes to the curriculum, including in the early years, to ensure that all the knowledge pupils should learn is precisely defined. The teaching of key concepts is carefully sequenced to support pupils in building on what they have previously learned. For example, in the early years, children are taught number bonds securely so that they are ready to understand addition, subtraction and place value in Year 1. In history, pupils in Year 4 learn about the advantages that Vikings gained through raiding monasteries and trading with locals. This prepares them to learn about the Sikh Empire in the 19th century and how it was strengthened through trade.
Leaders provide well-focused training, support and resources which develop teachers' subject knowledge and expertise, including in the early years. Staff typically present information clearly and extend pupils' thinking. Staff know the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and provide for them suitably, including by making adaptations to resources and teaching the curriculum so that pupils can learn new content well. Teaching revisits important content regularly, which supports pupils to remember key ideas that will support their learning later.
