Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They know that a warm welcome awaits them when they arrive each day. Children new to the early years settle in quickly. Older pupils look forward to playing with their friends at breaktimes. Pupils of all ages feel happy, safe and secure in school.
The school expects pupils to work hard and to achieve well. Children in the early years make a strong start to their education. However, some pupils in key stages 1 to 3 do not achieve as well as they should. This is because there are weaknesses in the design and the delivery of the curriculum in some subjects.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Since the last inspection, the school has made some improvements to its broad, secular curriculum. The curriculum now sets out the steps of knowledge that pupils should learn, from the early years to Year 6, in each subject. However, the most important knowledge for pupils in Year 7 is far less clearly defined. This lack of clarity prevents staff from ensuring that pupils learn the new knowledge that they need to learn. Consequently, pupils in Year 7 do not learn as well as they should in a range of subjects.
Staff typically have secure subject knowledge. However, they have not had sufficient training to ensure that they deliver the curriculum consistently well. At times, the teaching that some pupils receive in key stages 1 to 3 does not enable them to practise and consolidate their knowledge sufficiently. Where this happens, pupils' learning is less secure and they struggle to remember it over time.
