Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This community-focused school is much appreciated by local families. Children get off to a strong start in the early years. They quickly settle and are taught the daily routines so that they can engage positively in their learning. Behaviour in lessons and around the school has improved and, overall, pupils behave well.
Pupils are enthusiastic about learning and study a broad range of subjects. This year, the school has introduced a new, ambitious curriculum in many subjects. This is helping to fill the gaps in some pupils' learning. Pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) study the same ambitious curriculum. However, sometimes, these pupils do not get the support they need to achieve as well as they could.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has been through a period of change and instability since the last inspection. In the past year, the new leadership team has worked at pace to implement changes to the curriculum and the behaviour system. The leadership team has carefully considered which areas to prioritise and has a clear and ambitious vision for the school. Pupils continue to attend well. Staff and parents and carers typically speak positively about these changes and the stability provided by the new leadership team. The school is supported by an experienced governing body that holds leaders to account effectively.
