Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is a community driven school where 'opportunity for all' is strongly embedded. The school provides an array of enrichment activities to ensure pupils gain valuable life experiences. Pupils take part in trips, workshops, clubs, and a range of musical and artistic opportunities. The school works effectively with families and nurtures the pupils in its care. Parents and carers speak warmly of the school and consider it welcoming and approachable.
The curriculum helps pupils to learn well. They receive a broad and enriched education. The school has high expectations for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs/and or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is carefully thought through to build on the strong foundation set in the early years.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils study an ambitious curriculum. Leaders have carefully selected the important knowledge that pupils need to learn and have sequenced this effectively. Teachers have secure subject knowledge and present information clearly. Wherever possible teaching uses practical approaches to develop pupils' understanding. For example, in science pupils regularly conduct investigations and in art they explore a variety of materials and mediums. Nursery and Reception classes are also very well resourced and offer a range of interactive activities that develop children's learning about the wider world.
The school identifies the needs of pupils with SEND accurately and with precision. Teachers are provided with thorough information about these needs and make adaptations successfully where required. This means that these pupils are well supported to learn the curriculum alongside their peers.
