Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are part of a family at this close-knit and inclusive school. Pupils celebrate their different backgrounds and the links to the nearby military base Defence School of Transport in Leconfield. All pupils are made to feel welcome.
Pupils enjoy learning. Most pupils achieve well in published assessments. However, a small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not receive the precise support they need. Some pupils with weaker literacy or reading skills do not receive the precise feedback they need to improve.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils study a range of subjects across a broad curriculum. The curriculum identifies the small steps in knowledge that pupils need to learn. Pupils learn increasingly complex work as they progress through the school. The school has made substantial and considered changes to improve the curriculum. For example, pupils have more opportunities to develop their depth of writing and learn a variety of drawing skills in art. The curriculum is fully inclusive of all pupils, including those with SEND. Children in early years receive a well-planned curriculum that is adapted to meet their interests.
Teachers have good subject knowledge and explain concepts clearly. Pupils experience structured lessons that help them to learn and remember more. For example, lessons begin with questions that remind pupils about previous learning. Children in early years retell stories to demonstrate their understanding. Pupils talk confidently and enthusiastically about what they have learned. They can use subject-specific vocabulary to explain their ideas. For example, pupils in art can explain the meaning of terms such as cross-hatching, gradient and texture. The school has introduced new methods of assessment that accurately identify learning and gaps in knowledge in most subjects.
