Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are proud of the way that school helps them to live out the school values of faith, hope and love. These are the basis of the high expectations of the school that pupils strive to meet. Pupils develop warm and respectful relationships with each other and with adults. They know that staff care about their mental health and well-being as well as their learning. Pupils learn to care for each other so that everyone feels welcome. Bullying happens rarely, and pupils are confident that staff deal with it effectively.
Pupils delight in building dens and safely climbing trees in Boundary Wood. Pupil play leaders organise games and races so that their classmates are physically active at break- and lunchtimes. The school-designed 'Skylark' award encourages pupils to take an active part in their local community and develop their personal interests. Pupil-led clubs are extremely popular and make a significant contribution to the life of the school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Since the last inspection, leaders have worked with urgency to design and put in place a well-sequenced curriculum which starts in the early years and continues throughout the school. They have ensured it is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have chosen the most important information that pupils need to learn and broken this down into small, manageable steps. This helps teachers to present the information in an interesting way and supports them to skilfully adapt their teaching to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. Leaders have established effective systems to swiftly identify and support pupils with SEND.
Teachers routinely recap previous learning. Staff use questioning and other checks to make sure that pupils have understood what has been taught before. They use this information to adapt their teaching and the future sequence of lessons. This helps pupils to be ready to learn more complex content. As a result of this, pupils gradually learn the essential content, and so, learn well across the curriculum. Leaders are making headway in ensuring that all these developments are fully embedded.
