Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils, staff and parents and/or carers acknowledge the significant improvements that leaders have recently introduced. One parent, reflecting the views of many, said: 'We love this school, including the teachers, the engagement from the leadership team with everyone, and the positive effect this school has on our children.' Leaders include them all in making this a community where pupils thrive. Strong professional relationships with staff encourage pupils to report any concerns and feel safe.
The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly. Pupils do particularly well in reading and mathematics. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. The school encourages them to be kind, resilient and to work with others. Pupils are considerate of the feelings and needs of others. They readily offer help, and they take care of one another by including others at playtime. Pupils take up positions of responsibility, including through the school council.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has devised a broad curriculum that is ambitious for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have swiftly identified and addressed gaps in the curriculum. Staff are emphatically positive about the changes leaders have made. They appreciate the support for their workload and well-being. For example, there are deliberate, carefully planned opportunities for reasoning and problem-solving in mathematics.
Generally, the subject content that pupils need to know has been carefully selected and ordered into a sequence that enables them to reach ambitious end points. Typically, teaching and support are precisely focused on the main aims of the curriculum.
