Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are proud to attend this school. Leaders have the highest aspirations for what pupils can achieve. All pupils develop their talents and interests through a wide range of enrichment activities. Music is a particular highlight. Pupils attend weekly string instrument lessons from Year 2. Many pupils take part in regular orchestral and choral performances.
Pupils' exceptional behaviour and attitudes make the school a pleasant and harmonious place to be. The youngest pupils in the school quickly develop the habits that lead to excellent behaviour. Older pupils can be relied on to set an example to younger pupils. They take on a range of leadership responsibilities, including in the junior leadership team and as sports ambassadors and librarians.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have identified the key knowledge that they want pupils to learn. Learning builds up in a carefully sequenced order. For example, in science, teachers help pupils to develop their understanding of how scientists test their ideas. Pupils learn to analyse the results of their experiments. They write scientific conclusions with increasing complexity. In early years, staff help children to develop their language and communication skills. They encourage children to increase their vocabulary ready for the start of Year 1. Leaders ensure that all activities in Nursery and Reception have a learning purpose. The outdoor environment is lively and highly engaging. Children learn about seasons and growing vegetables in the school allotment.
Teachers make sure that pupils understand what they have just learned before moving on to new content. They help pupils to remember what they have learned previously in their long-term memory. As a result, pupils are ready to attempt more complicated work with confidence. In history, for example, pupils display their learning in a 'grand finale' when they present their knowledge of historical events and figures to parents and carers.
