Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils strive to adopt the school's values of kindness, respect, togetherness and excellence. These are exemplified by pupils and staff each day. Working relationships across the school are positive. Pupils behave well in class and in the playgrounds. Pupils' positive attitudes to learning mean that time spent on learning is maximised. When there are any disputes, pupils have confidence that staff investigate these quickly and help them to resolve their differences. Pupils trust staff to help them with any concerns they may have. This ensures that pupils are kept safe at school.
The school successfully ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can access and learn the ambitious curriculum. Expectations are high for the knowledge and skills that pupils will learn. Pupils speak with enthusiasm and demonstrate high levels of motivation towards their learning. This is because the school provides pupils with a rich set of opportunities to develop their talents.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed a well-sequenced curriculum, starting from the early years. It effectively builds on the knowledge and skills that pupils have previously learned. This helps pupils to know and remember more over time. For example, in physical education (PE), children in Reception learn simple balances on one leg and movement to the left and right. By Year 3, they learn and apply complex dance movements and routines to a diverse range of music. In the early years, adults interact purposefully with children.
Some subjects in the curriculum, such as English and PE, are well-established. For example, pupils learn to read and write with increasing complexity as they move through the school. The school takes a thorough approach to checking what pupils know. This begins in the early years, where the learning for each child is planned with care. However, this is not replicated in other subjects. For example, in mathematics and science, the school is sharply focused on strengthening the skills pupils need to know and remember over time.
