Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are happy and thrive in this popular school. They feel proud to be a part of this diverse school community. Pupils here are safe and cared for. They can name adults who will listen and help them if they have a worry or concern.
The school has high ambitions for what pupils can achieve. Pupils study a broad range of subjects. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive strong support to access the curriculum alongside their peers. Most pupils achieve at age expectations and are well prepared for their next stage of learning.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed an ambitious curriculum that sets out the key knowledge and skills pupils need to learn from an early age. They produce work to a high standard, including in art and design. Pupils' knowledge and skills in computing are of an equally high standard. Typically, subject leadership has a strong oversight of the curriculum. Some leadership of subjects is newer and has not had time to monitor fully the impact of their plans on pupils' outcomes. Careful thought has been given to how knowledge is sequenced and assessed to help pupils build on previous learning. In mathematics, children in Reception confidently used ten frames to name and make different numbers. Staff supported children to use different vocabulary confidently to explain the difference between odd and even numbers. As a result, they are well prepared for mathematics in Year 1.
