Some of the highlights from the report were:
Pupils thrive in this caring community. They feel happy and safe. Pupils embody the school values, including cooperation and compassion. This is evident in the focused atmosphere in classrooms. .
Pupils are passionate about the subjects they learn. They work hard to complete the engaging tasks that teachers select and discuss their learning excitedly.
The school knows its context and community well. It has designed an ambitious curriculum that meets the needs of its pupils. From Nursery to Year 6, the school prioritises the development of oracy and language. As a result, pupils, including the high number who speak English as an additional language, can access the curriculum effectively. They learn the vital curriculum content they need.
The school is inclusive and ensures that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve well. Skilled staff quickly identify the individual needs of pupils.
Teachers have secure subject knowledge. They explain learning clearly and check on pupils’ understanding with precision. These checks ensure that pupils are clear on their next steps, and teachers quickly support them to fill any gaps in their knowledge.
Pupils love reading. This begins in early years, where children engage excitedly with a range of traditional stories, rhymes and songs. Expert staff teach phonics accurately. Consequently, pupils in the early stages of reading swiftly become fluent readers.
Pupils’ excellent conduct extends beyond the classroom. They walk quietly throughout the school. Corridors are calm and orderly. Pupils play together joyously at breaktime. Pupil play leaders ensure that all pupils have someone to play with.
