Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils flourish in this tolerant, compassionate and inclusive environment. Their gifts and talents are specifically recognised and celebrated, reflecting the school's strong ethos to focus on and nurture each individual pupil. Pupils work hard to live out the school's values, such as friendship, trust and respect. The youngest children settle, follow consistent routines and make friends quickly. Pupils feel safe in school because they trust the adults who look after them. They can always find an adult to listen to them if they are worried or concerned. The school celebrates diversity, which was reflected on by one pupil, who said, 'Everybody brings their own unique thing to school, and that is good for everyone.'
Pupils work hard to reach the high expectations of behaviour and learning set by their teachers. This, together with their positive attitudes to learning, helps pupils of all abilities achieve. Parents and carers agree. One commented, 'The school has a nurturing environment that allows any child to thrive.' Pupils are happy at school, reflected in their above-average attendance. Right from the start in the Reception class, children are taught to behave well. This is clearly seen in the strong relationships that are apparent throughout the school. Instances of bullying are rare, but adults deal with it swiftly and effectively if it does happen.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has high ambitions for its pupils, wanting them to achieve their best. The recently updated curriculum focuses on challenging pupils well. 'Busy' learning in Reception sees young children having 'hands on' experiences. This develops their vocabulary while they learn skills such as taking turns, and these experiences are effectively built on in subsequent year groups. Most subjects, including English and mathematics, are well embedded. Pupils are able to build on what they already know and understand. There are a few other subjects, such as history and geography, where this is not yet the case. The school recognises the importance of identifying the skills and knowledge pupils need to learn clearly in these areas. The school's aim is that achievement in these subjects matches the high standards pupils reach in subjects like physical education and music.
