Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are happy and proud to belong to this inclusive school. They know the staff care for them. Pupils have strong working relationships with staff, supporting them to feel welcome and part of the school community. Parents and carers said that their children are enthusiastic to attend school. They share the values of the school, including the school's work to encourage pupils to be kind to one another.
Pupils enjoy playing and learning together. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), develop confidence and work hard to match the high expectations set by staff. Pupils are confident that staff will support them to resolve any worries that they may have. Staff's consistent approach to managing behaviour helps pupils to demonstrate positive attitudes to lessons and around the school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
In recent years, the school has developed an ambitious and well-designed curriculum. This work is still to be completed and fully embedded across some foundation subjects. The values of the school underpin the learning expectations. This has ensured a high standard of education in many subjects. Staff work effectively to provide pupils with a broad and interesting curriculum.
The important knowledge that pupils should learn from the early years onwards has been clearly identified in most subjects. This helps pupils broaden and deepen their understanding of key concepts and knowledge. Staff check pupils' understanding on a regular basis, including those pupils with SEND. Teachers spot any misconceptions pupils may have quickly and clarify what pupils need to know before moving on. In mathematics, for example, pupils are encouraged to solve problems and to discuss and explain their methods. In a few subjects, for example design and technology, the curriculum has been more recently developed. The school's oversight and expertise in these subjects is not as strong. In some subjects, the curriculum is not fully embedded, which limits pupils' deeper knowledge and understanding over time.
