What Ofsted said

Pupils feel happy at this school. They value the care that they receive from supportive staff. This helps pupils to feel safe and secure. Pupils embrace the reading culture in their school. They appreciate the many opportunities that they have to enjoy reading. Pupils are very proud of their school. They are especially proud of the fitness track, which they enjoy using immensely. Pupils appreciate the curriculum enrichment opportunities that are on offer. For example, they visit local museums and significant landmarks in their nearby city. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard and enjoy their learning. They achieve well. Leaders expect pupils to conduct themselves well around the school. Disruption to lessons is rare but if it does occur, then staff deal with it effectively. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying appropriately.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, subject leaders are not clear on how the early years curriculum ties to what pupils learn in future years. This sometimes means that when children move into key stage 1, teachers miss opportunities to harness what pupils have previously been taught. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders establish links between the two curriculums so that children continue to build their knowledge securely when they transition into Year 1.
  • Some subject leaders are in the early stages of checking how well the curriculum is being delivered and the impact that it has on pupils' achievement. This means they are less able to identify what is working well and what needs to develop further. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders gain greater insight into their areas of responsibility so that they support teachers to help pupils to know and remember more.
