Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils are immensely proud to attend this vibrant school. They love learning and behave exceptionally well. Pupils live up to the school's high expectations to be 'purple people'. They know that 'being purple' means upholding values, such as respect and teamwork, and always trying their best.

At the heart of this school is an unconditional positive regard for all. This is characterised by strong relationships and a caring and inclusive, respectful culture. These foster pupils' sense of belonging. Pupils acquire confidence and a belief that they can succeed, and succeed they do. They achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils leave the school well prepared and confident to embrace the new challenges and opportunities ahead of them.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

Reading has pride of place in the curriculum. This is because leaders and staff know that reading unlocks a key to pupils' success in education. Phonics is taught systematically and rigorously for as long as is needed. This is until pupils have the knowledge and skills they need to read accurately and fluently. The school immerses pupils in high-quality texts. These support pupils' wider reading knowledge and foster a love of reading. Pupils delight in using the attractive, well-resourced library on the 'reading bus'. They aspire to earn tokens to acquire new books from the school's reading vending machine.

The school's curriculum is ambitious, well planned and taught well. Pupils benefit from a rich curriculum offer. A key feature of this is how knowledge and skills are connected within and between subjects. This deliberate connectivity helps pupils to build new learning onto what they already know. For example, pupils learn about important key concepts, such as power and empire across different historical periods.
