What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has a highly ambitious and thoughtfully sequenced curriculum which supports pupils to achieve exceptionally well.
Well trained staff deliver information clearly and in a way that engages pupils. Teachers accurately check how well pupils understand what they have taught them. Through the curriculum, pupils independently apply what they have learned to unfamiliar problems very well.
For example, in a hockey lesson pupils could use skills they learned from other sports to help them to dribble with a hockey stick successfully. Pupils recall information accurately. Their standards of work in French, the school's chosen foreign language, are particularly impressive.
The highly effective provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength of the school. Staff receive bespoke guidance and training so they can identify and meet these pupils' needs. As a result, pupils with SEND feel well supported by the school.
They agree that additional resources and adaptations help them to feel fully included and achieve well.
The school promotes a love of reading. There is a well-stocked library that is regularly used.
Children start to learn their letters and sounds as soon as they start at school. Adults are experts in teaching early reading. By following the phonics scheme, teachers make rigorous checks to ensure that pupils are keeping up.
Pupils fluently read books that match the sounds they know.
In the early years, well-trained staff provide meaningful activities. Staff have thought about how the children can develop their character as well as learn the academic curriculum.
Staff teach the youngest children to recognise and talk about their emotions.Adults in early years are expert at using conversations with children to introduce new, ambitious vocabulary. This gives children a wealth of language to talk about their learning.
As a result, throughout the school pupils use technical vocabulary and include this in their written work.
Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. The school has developed clear rules and routines that help to create positive, calm classrooms.
Staff use praise to teach pupils the desired conduct. This enables pupils to feel secure and have very positive attitudes towards their learning. The school closely tracks pupils' attendance and takes highly effective action to address any emerging weaknesses.
As a result, attendance is high.
