Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This school is community focused. For instance, food for the recent harvest supper was prepared and grown by the pupils on the school grounds. In addition, the school provides a food bank, toddler group, coffee mornings and go-green projects that bring the whole community together. The much-loved school dog, Ozzie, greets pupils in the morning and 'hears readers'. This is another example of how pupils are made to feel welcome in the school. This nurturing approach is recognised and valued by the pupils and their parents and carers.
The school has faced some significant challenges with changes of leadership and many staff leaving the school since the last inspection. This has disrupted learning for some pupils and affected staff morale. However, new leadership has evaluated effectively the quality of education that the school provides and identified clear priorities for development. This strategic approach has meant the school has taken great strides in the last year. Staff feel empowered to move the school forward and feel equipped to do so. The school is now a happy one, where pupils enjoy their learning and are safe.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school provides an ambitious curriculum, which is carefully designed to build on pupils' previous learning and deepen their understanding over time. Teachers have secure subject knowledge and present information clearly. Wherever possible, teachers provide trips and enriching activities that help make learning memorable for pupils. The school uses the local area particularly well, including its own grounds, where each year group spends time exploring an outdoor curriculum.
Most of the time, pupils can recall their learning well and produce high-quality work. At times, they can apply skills learned to other subjects. For example, they can use their mathematical knowledge to support their understanding of data in science or geography. However, this application of skills and knowledge across the curriculum is inconsistent. For example, pupils' literacy skills are not readily remembered, and teachers do not routinely discuss vocabulary or encourage the application of grammatical knowledge outside of English lessons. This hampers pupils' ability to communicate effectively in writing.
