Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly, welcoming school. They understand how the school values 'motivate' them and help them to believe in themselves. The school has high expectations for what all pupils can achieve. Most pupils meet these expectations. They show positive attitudes, work hard and achieve well in most subjects.
The school has clear systems in place to promote positive behaviour. This starts in Nursery where children listen carefully and respond well to the routines that are in place. Across the school, pupils are polite and well mannered. Most understand and follow the school rules well. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in and outside the classroom.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has a clear vision for what all pupils can achieve. With the support of the trust, the new leadership team has brought stability to the school following a period of turbulence. The school's curriculum makes clear the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn, and when, from the early years to Year 6.
The school has put in place systems to evaluate the impact of its actions. In many areas, these are well used to improve the quality of education that pupils receive. For example, the school was quick to analyse why recent outcomes in spelling, punctuation and grammar in Year 6 were not as strong as expected. Pupils now have more opportunities to apply this knowledge and there is evidence that pupils' writing is improving. However, at times, staff do not use these systems as effectively as they could. This prevents them from fully understanding what is working well and addressing any shortcomings that exist.
