Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils' needs, and those of the wider school community, are the driving force for all that leaders do. This starts with parental engagement, promoting attendance and ensuring pupils and families have what they need to get the most from what the school has to offer.
Leaders expect all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. The broad and balanced curriculum helps pupils to develop their knowledge and understanding across different subjects. Typically, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed an ambitious curriculum that sets out the knowledge pupils need to learn and remember. The curriculum is organised logically, with regular opportunities for pupils to revisit and recap previous learning. This helps them to understand and learn more complex ideas over time. For example, in mathematics, children in early years practise counting and recognising numbers. This helps them to add, subtract, multiply and divide as they get older. Similarly, in history, learning about 'now and then' supports more abstract ideas such as chronology and legacy later on.
Developing a love of reading has been a key priority for leaders, not only in school but within the community. Teachers are well trained and deliver the phonics programme and reading interventions with precision. Those at risk of falling behind are identified quickly and supported to catch up. Pupils practise reading using books that are closely matched to the sounds they have learned. This helps them to read with accuracy. Reading fluency, however, is taking longer to establish for many due to the barriers with spoken language. This is reflected in the national outcomes for reading.
