What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has a meticulously designed and well-ordered curriculum that is broad and vibrant. From the start of Reception Year, the curriculum identifies the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils should learn. The school has considered carefully the important content that pupils should revisit to help them to build on their learning over time.
For example, in science, pupils use their previous knowledge about electrical circuits when making a torch in design and technology.
Teachers are experts in delivering the curriculum. The school has made sure that they are very well trained and there is a consistency of approach.
Teachers use a range of strategies successfully to check that pupils have firmly understood earlier concepts and ideas. Any gaps in learning are quickly identified and addressed. The school uses the most recent educational research to inform the approaches that teachers use.
This helps pupils to learn and achieve extremely well.

Across key stages, pupils benefit from a diverse range of texts from different cultures and from a range of authors. Pupils look forward to author visits. Pupil librarians enthuse other pupils to read widely and often.
Staff deliver the phonics programme expertly and with fidelity. Pupils read books that are carefully matched to the sounds that they already know. Further work in key stage two on fluency and comprehension has strengthened and improved pupils' reading ability.

The school identifies the needs of these pupils at an early stage. Staff are highly skilled in providing the support they need to learn alongside their peers.

The school makes sure that pupils learn about, and contribute, to life in modern Britain.
Pupils' personal development is exceptional. It is at the heart of all its work. Pupils are empowered to make a tangible difference to the school and its community.
The curriculum is enriched through a plethora of experiences. For example, pupils explain with maturity about how a visit to a museum enables them to understand how death was addressed in Egyptian times and the mumification process. Pupils' mental health and well-being is extremely well supported through the use of 'positivity pets', books and access to specific mental health support if needed.
Nearly all pupils attend at least one of a wide range of extra-curricular clubs on offer. These include mindfulness, spiritual garden, sports, drama, reading, construction and choir, to name but a few. This work ensures pupils are well-rounded and ready for the next stage in their education.
