Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Staff support pupils' well-being at this welcoming and friendly school. Pupils report any concerns they have, and teachers sort them out quickly. This helps pupils to feel safe and comfortable at school.
Pupils learn the school's ambitious curriculum, achieve well and the school teaches them thoughtfully about choices for their future. For example, during a 'careers day' the school arranges for visitors to talk to pupils about how to become a nurse or an astrophysicist.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have ensured that the curriculum is well sequenced and ambitious, from the early years. Pupils develop broad knowledge which they apply well. For example, they produce artwork using a wide range of materials and techniques and evaluate how successful their attempts are. Likewise, in science, pupils explain the purpose, process and findings for their practical activities.
The school provides effective training to staff, which helps them to develop strong subject knowledge. In the early years, adults extend and deepen children's knowledge through purposeful activities and carefully chosen language. Teachers present subject matter clearly and help older pupils to understand important ideas. They break content down so that information is manageable for pupils to understand. For example, pupils in Year 4 are firstly supported to recall times tables facts before using that knowledge to calculate the area of a shape.
