Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is a friendly and welcoming place, where pupils are happy and feel safe. The school prides itself on knowing each pupil well. Pupils know they have trusted adults they can speak to if they have any worries. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school.
The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, some aspects of the curriculum are not implemented effectively enough, meaning that many pupils are not prepared for the next stage of their education as well as they should be. There are some examples of more recent improvements, but outcomes at the end of key stage 1 in 2023 were too low, especially in writing and mathematics.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The curriculum is ambitious. It is structured well across a broad range of subjects. This begins in the early years, where the curriculum reflects children's starting points and fosters their interests. There is a sharp focus on developing children's language development and communication. This also helps staff to identify potential SEND needs early. Children are well prepared for their future learning in Year 1.
Throughout the school, teachers provide well-chosen resources and materials to help pupils, including those with SEND, to access learning. Phonics is generally taught well. The books provided for early readers are carefully matched to pupils' stages of learning. Weaker readers have regular catch-up sessions to practise key sounds and words. This helps them to develop confidence with reading.
