Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is an inspirational school where pupils thrive, and learning comes alive. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are kind and caring towards each other and respectful to adults. They are enthusiastic and attentive in lessons. Pupils take great care when presenting their work. The quality of their work in books and on display around the school is truly impressive.
The school is highly ambitious for every pupil to learn a broad range of knowledge and skills. Pupils rise to the school's high expectations. Because of this, all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), attend well and achieve highly by the time they leave Year 2 for junior school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
In all subjects, the school has designed an ambitious and well-structured curriculum. The knowledge and skills pupils learn are clearly defined and well-sequenced, building towards understanding more complex knowledge. This begins in early years and develops as pupils get older. For example, in art and design, children in early years learn about mixing colours when painting and drawing and different materials for sculpture. They build on this knowledge when learning about Kandinsky and the Musical Paintbox. By Year 2, pupils apply what they have learned to make more complex moving objects using a range of tools and techniques.
Staff work closely in subject teams. The school use a team of specialist teachers to further enrich the curriculum in such as areas as art, computing, design technology, music, and physical education (PE). This helps to ensure teachers are well-supported to design activities that inspire pupils and build their knowledge securely. As a result, pupils develop a rich body of knowledge in different subjects and achieve exceptionally well.
