Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
A strong, inclusive ethos is at the heart of this school. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They welcome visitors and are proud to show off their school. They talk confidently about the school values of PRIDE: perseverance, respect, integrity, diversity and excellence. Pupils can explain why it is important for everyone to be treated equally and with respect. They understand the importance of a good education and keep trying when they find work difficult.
The school has high expectations of behaviour, and pupils respond positively to these. Children in early years settle well and begin to learn how to manage their feelings and behaviour. Older pupils look after younger ones. They readily share and take turns on the playground and help each other in class. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. As a result, pupils feel happy, safe and secure in school. They know who to talk to if they have any concerns.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils with SEND are supported well and make good progress. This is because the school accurately identifies their needs and meets them successfully. Staff are trained to adapt learning where necessary. This ensures that pupils with SEND access the same learning as their classmates.
The curriculum is well designed and sequenced. It is ambitious for all pupils. Some subjects have been successfully revised in order to raise standards, but more time is needed for this to fully take effect. However, not all subjects contain guidance that helps teachers to provide more challenging activities. At times, pupils are not provided with learning that allows them to apply, deepen or extend their understanding. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.
