Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is a very nurturing and friendly school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel safe and well cared for. They enjoy many opportunities to play with their friends. Pupils speak positively about the teachers and adults who work in the school. Children settle well when they join the early years class. They enjoy the well-thought-out learning activities both inside and outside. Most pupils try their best to live up to the expectations that the school has for their behaviour. They behave well and are enthusiastic about their learning. Bullying is rare. Pupils help each other in class and around the school. They are proud to have roles and responsibilities, such as sports ambassadors and school councillors. Pupils benefit from attending before- and after-school clubs.
The school has identified what needs to improve for pupils, particularly those with additional needs. The school knows that pupils learn more in some subjects than others. They learn well in reading and mathematics. Older pupils enjoy reading and talk about their favourite books and authors. Pupils learn from the trips and experiences that staff plan for them. The curriculum is ambitious and broad ranging. The content of the curriculum is not sequenced precisely. This limits pupils' progress in some subjects.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school prioritised improving early years, reading and mathematics. Pupils do well in these areas and results have improved year on year. Pupils do not do so well in other subjects. The school has not precisely identified the key content that pupils should learn in the wider curriculum or the order in which it needs to be taught. This prevents pupils from building their knowledge over time. The curriculum is broad and balanced. The topics selected reflect the ambition for the curriculum to interest pupils. Subject plans are very wide ranging, with a large choice of content. It is not clear consistently what knowledge, skills and vocabulary are to be taught over time. This makes it difficult for teachers to assess pupils' learning accurately and plan further learning effectively.
The teaching of early reading is a priority. All staff are trained to teach phonics accurately. Phonics is taught with precision and consistency as soon as pupils start in Reception. Pupils make rapid progress in phonics. Pupils' phonics knowledge is checked regularly. Any pupils falling behind get extra help to catch up. Pupils practise their phonics skills when reading books matched to recent assessments. Sometimes, the books pupils with SEND read are too difficult. This limits their ability to read fluently.
