Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

This is a welcoming and friendly school, where pupils are exceptionally supportive of each other, caring and kind. The school teaches pupils extensively about the importance of community through shared 'growing together' values and initiatives, such as a monthly collection for a local food bank. Pupils take up responsibilities widely. For example, reading ambassadors in Year 6 read with younger pupils. Junior leadership team members helped to write the school's 'equality charter'.

The school has high expectations for all pupils, who achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children in the early years develop a good foundation for later learning. Older pupils build exceptionally well on their starting points.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

The curriculum is well devised with careful thought about the ambitious end points pupils should reach in order to be well prepared for their next steps. For example, from Year 4 onwards, all pupils study music technology extensively to help them understand the music industry and prepare them to study the subject at secondary school.

Pupils produce high-quality, accurate work. They draw on detailed knowledge across the curriculum, applying what they have previously been taught to understand increasingly complex and ambitious concepts. The carefully sequenced knowledge within the school's curriculum supports them well to do this. For example, in history pupils in Year 2 learn about the beginnings of the British Empire under Elizabeth 1, then consider what made the Roman, British and Nubian Empires powerful, before going on to consider in Year 6 how Britain relied on the people, land and resources of its empire for support during the World Wars.
