Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is a welcoming inclusive school for all pupils. Parents, carers and pupils agree there is warmth and a sense of learning together in their school. Each morning, pupils arrive at school smiling and look forward to their day ahead.
The school sets high expectations for pupils to achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND). Overall, pupils realise these expectations and achieve well through the curriculum.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils learn to love books from the time they join the school. The reading curriculum is well structured so pupils, including those with SEND, learn to read well. At first, they learn their sounds well and develop their phonics knowledge progressively to help them read books fluently. The school quickly identifies the times when pupils need more support with their reading. Pupils use and apply their reading and comprehension skills confidently in other subjects. For example, in science, pupils read about animals and the food they eat.
Children in early years learn about numbers as a starting point for mathematics. Adults provide a range of carefully selected activities and opportunities. For example, pupils in early years learn their number bonds through a game of hiding groups of objects. This equips pupils to go on and learn addition and subtraction with understanding in key stage 1.
