Early Years
Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are encouraged to be proud of themselves and their achievements. A culture of high academic excellence is promoted here. This is reflected in the consistently strong published outcomes for pupils in English and mathematics. Weekly celebration assemblies are used to praise pupils' accomplishments and showcase their individual passions. The school enables pupils to explore their talents and interests. This is achieved through the wide ranging extra-curricular clubs on offer and experiences, such as inter-school competitions. Clubs include gymnastics, science, football and fencing. The school ensures all pupils have access to what is on offer.
Pupils are genuinely happy here. School staff foster nurturing professional relationships with pupils. In the early years, children eagerly join in with songs, poems and rhymes about being friends. Pupils are taught to love and respect one another. When breaktime finishes, pupils readily and instinctively help others tidy away the equipment. Pupils behave responsibly and with maturity.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The governing board and leaders are committed to providing a positive education for pupils. They lead the school effectively. Teaching staff appreciate the decisions leaders make to support them to manage their workload.
Pupils study a range of subjects in line with the national curriculum. The school sets out the important knowledge and skills they want pupils to learn in each subject. Important knowledge is sequenced logically from the early years to ensure it builds cumulatively as pupils move through the school. For example, in the early years the curriculum provides robust opportunities for children to learn to name, draw and recognise patterns in shapes. This helps pupils when they are taught about shape symmetry and angles in Year 1 and beyond.
