Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils arrive here with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. They love coming to this school. Pupils are happy and safe here. They have a strong sense of belonging. Pupils have forged positive working relationships with all the staff, who know them and their families well.
Behaviour across the school is exceptional. Pupils treat each other and staff with the utmost respect. Expectations are high and communicated fairly by all staff. Pupils quickly respond to instructions and guidance from staff. They demonstrate great enthusiasm in lessons, and when talking about their learning. Pupils play harmoniously with each other in the school garden. They have full confidence that all staff will take their worries and concerns seriously. Staff expect the very best for every pupil both academically and personally. Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have made sure that the curriculum is ambitious for all pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), across all subjects. The curriculum is broad and carefully sequenced across most subjects. Typically, leaders have thought carefully about how pupils will best develop a breadth of knowledge and skills. In a few subjects, however, the curriculum is not currently as well designed. These subjects are delivered through a range of activities rather than carefully sequenced lessons. Because of this, pupils do not develop their skills and understanding deeply. Leaders have already acknowledged this and are piloting a new chosen curriculum. Teachers have good knowledge of the subject content that they teach.
Children in early years develop their understanding of number through a range of carefully planned learning. As pupils move up the school, they have sufficient time to practise their understanding in mathematics. Although there are regular quizzes and formal assessments, teachers do not sometimes check for pupils' understanding during lessons or pick up errors in books. As a result, pupils' misconceptions are not clarified in a timely manner. This limits pupils' readiness for future learning.
