Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
The school vision of 'learning for living' is woven into school life. Pupils are welcomed and valued at school. Pupils show respect for each other and adults who care for them well. They know they can talk to a trusted adult if they have any concerns. Pupils feel safe in school.
The school has high expectations. Pupils live up to these. The school's 'social bond' helps pupils to behave well in the classroom and around the school. Learning is rarely disrupted. Pupils understand what bullying is and the different forms it can take. If bullying does happen, the school is swift to act to ensure pupils receive the appropriate support to avoid future incidents.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed an ambitious and rich curriculum. It supports all pupils to learn well from the early years through to Year 6. From the beginning of pre-school onwards, there is a sharp focus on developing children's communication and language. When necessary, staff make adaptations that help pupils including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to learn effectively.
In most subject areas, the school has identified the key knowledge that it wants pupils to learn and the order in which it is taught. For example, in mathematics, children in the pre-school are supported to secure their understanding of numbers to five. In the Reception Year, children build on this and learn to practise counting and grouping numbers in different ways. In Years 1 to 6, pupils deepen their understanding and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. However, in some curriculum areas the school has not defined some key subject-specific knowledge that pupils need to know. Where this is the case, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and struggle to recall subject content that has been taught previously.
