Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
This is an inclusive and welcoming place for pupils to attend. It is ambitious for all its pupils to succeed and to receive a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included in school life. In the additionally resourced provision base for pupils with autism (ARB), staff identify pupils' needs carefully and provide skilful support. The school makes exceptional provision to support pupils with autism.
The school is generally a calm and orderly environment. Pupils are friendly and polite. Pupils said that staff sort things out quickly when any concerns occur. In some classes, learning is occasionally impacted by off task behaviour.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has established a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the scope of the national curriculum. In most subjects, there is a focus on the key knowledge and skills, including vocabulary, that pupils need to learn. Pupils produce some high-quality artwork which is celebrated across the school. All pupils learn about a wide and diverse range of artists and designers. Subject leadership in many subjects is new. The school's curricular thinking in a few subjects is not fully implemented. This means that sometimes pupils do not deepen their knowledge and understanding of important subject content.
Typically, pupils achieve well. For instance, in mathematics, staff make sure that pupils develop strong knowledge and skills, starting from the early years. The early years environment, both indoors and outdoors, is organised to immerse children in number and language. Staff in the Reception Year enable children to develop their curiosity and love of learning.
