Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is an inclusive school. There is a rich multi-cultural diversity and everyone is made to feel welcome. Strong relationships between pupils, staff and parents provide the foundation of this school's success.
The curriculum provides pupils with plentiful opportunities to develop their talents beyond purely academic subjects. Learning extends beyond the classroom. The music offer is particularly impressive. For example, the steel pan band recently performed at the Vertu Arena. Pupils enjoy regular visits and visitors in school. For example, pupils learn samba dancing as part of their geography topic about Brazil. Year 6 pupils enjoy an outdoor education residential visit to Lockerbie. These experiences widen pupils' horizons.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders know the local community they serve. They have swiftly identified areas for improvement and brought about change, supported by the trust. There is a new and ambitious curriculum that is bespoke to the school. This is carefully sequenced. It sets out a clear progression of knowledge and skills. For example, in geography, children learn positional language and map journeys around school in the early years. This prepares them well for when they are introduced to atlases in key stage 1. In key stage 2, pupils learn about contour lines and by Year 6 they can identify tectonic plates on a world map.
