Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils enjoy attending this warm and welcoming school. They form strong, trusting relationships with one another and staff. The school's six 'R' values, including respect, resourcefulness, resilience and reflection, are evident in pupils' actions and behaviour.
The school has high expectations of pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these expectations. They are eager to learn. Pupils achieve well in some subjects. They become fluent readers and learn to solve complex mathematical problems.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed an ambitious curriculum. In some subjects, such as English and mathematics, the essential knowledge that pupils should learn has been precisely identified. In these subjects, teachers guide pupils through their learning so that they build their knowledge effectively. In other subjects, curriculums do not always identify the essential knowledge that pupils should study. Nor has the curriculum in these subjects been adapted for pupils in mixed-age classes. In these subjects, teachers do not consistently provide pupils with work which enables them to learn the intended curriculum or which is matched to pupils' existing understanding.
Teachers have secure subject knowledge and remind pupils of previous learning. They check pupils' understanding. Pupils can recall some of their learning. For example, they can talk about the key features of rivers, Barbara Hepworth's sculptures and rationing during the Second World War. However, in some subjects curriculums are new. They have not yet had an impact on pupils' learning. Pupils' recall of what they have studied in some subjects is inconsistent.
