Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
The school's core values of love, respect and forgiveness are evident in day-to-day school life. Staff know pupils and their families very well. Pupils are well cared for and are safe. They appreciate the close family atmosphere in this warm and welcoming school.
Pupils are happy and flourish here. This is because the school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour and clear routines. Pupils are friendly and polite. From the early years onwards, the school teaches them to show high levels of respect and kindness towards adults and each other.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's curriculum is broad and ambitious for all pupils. The knowledge and vocabulary that pupils should learn are clearly set out from Reception to Year 6. Teachers typically plan memorable activities to help pupils remember important knowledge.
Teachers use their subject expertise to teach most elements of the curriculum well. As a result, pupils enjoy lessons and produce work of a high standard. Generally, teachers' checking of pupils' knowledge is effective. Occasionally, some teachers do not identify and correct pupils' misconceptions quickly enough before moving on to new learning. Where this happens, pupils may find it more difficult to recall and use some knowledge.
