Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are proud ambassadors of their school. The school's mission statement permeates everything that they do. Pupils play and learn happily together as they prepare for life beyond school. They benefit from warm and supportive relationships in lessons and at breaktimes.
Pupils are taught to make a positive contribution through their roles as representatives on the school council and as playground leaders. They demonstrate compassion when supporting good causes within and beyond their school community. For example, pupils organised donations to a foodbank during harvest. Pupils also discover new skills and talents such as chess and gardening. They enjoy representing their school in a range of sporting activities.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school prioritises the teaching of reading. Staff are trained to deliver the phonics programme consistently well. Children in the Nursery class join in with rhymes and songs to develop their early language skills. This prepares them well for learning phonics as soon as they enter the Reception Year.
Pupils benefit from reading and listening to stories from their class and school library collections. Older pupils understand the importance of reading to develop their vocabulary and comprehension skills. They are proud to be trained as 'book buddies' for younger children in the school. The school ensures that pupils read books that match the sounds that they know. They provide pupils who need extra help with appropriate support. As a result, pupils learn to become confident and fluent readers.
