Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils appreciate the care and support they receive from adults at this school. Pupils are safe and secure. The school has created a culture of high expectations. As a result, pupils in all year groups, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), work hard to produce their best possible work.
The school has an orderly and industrious atmosphere. Pupils make a strong contribution to the calm character of the school. They are well mannered and helpful. Staff are kind in their approach to pupils. This helps pupils to aspire to be successful in their learning. Staff prioritise the health and well-being of pupils and their families. They support families when they need extra help.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has carefully organised the curriculum so that pupils can learn in a logical order. Most pupils know more and remember more over time. For example, pupils can talk articulately about the differences between climate and weather. Staff revisit previous knowledge before moving on. This builds pupils' confidence and understanding. The school gives pupils many opportunities to practise their writing. This is having a positive impact. For example, in science, pupils can write about how they classify plants and they can recount investigations they have done.
The school has recently overhauled the provision for pupils with SEND. This has ensured that pupils' needs are identified correctly. Staff work collaboratively with specialists to set manageable targets. Staff are skilled in adapting lessons to engage these pupils. Occasionally, tasks set for pupils with SEND do not match their needs. This hinders how well they progress.
