Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
The school starts teaching children about their high expectations for positive behaviour from the early years foundation stage. If necessary, staff facilitate circle talks between pupils to restore relationships.
The school has an impressive outdoor area where pupils play at lunch and playtime. Pupils access a varied and extensive selection of play equipment. For example, pupils of all ages play together on wheeled toys and in a water area. There is a mud kitchen and pupils enjoy relaxing in the reading tent. This helps to build strong relationships between younger and older pupils.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's curriculum design stems from their curriculum drivers of aspiration, communication and understanding. It has systematically sequenced each subject's disciplinary knowledge to ensure that pupils can make links between their learning and to other subjects. The school continually reviews and adapts the curriculum to meet the needs of its pupils. For example, the history curriculum structure features four key concepts: society, power and conflict, invention and beliefs and Gods. This ensures that pupils cover concepts to prepare them for key stage 3 history.
The school considers pupils' prior learning when starting a new unit of learning. Each lesson starts with a retrieval aspect that includes questions on learning from the previous lesson, the previous week and the previous unit. This is intrinsically linked to the essential knowledge the school has identified it wants pupils to remember. However, while pupils can recall some knowledge linked to specific topics, it is not necessarily the essential knowledge.
