What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils study a very ambitious curriculum.
Adults routinely check that pupils have understood new learning. Pupils connect this learning to the things that they already know. For example, pupils link their knowledge of different geographical features to their new learning about plate tectonics.
In addition, in science, they discuss in detail how the circulatory system works and link this to their impressive scientific knowledge about the components of the blood stream. Across the curriculum, pupils demonstrate deep and connected knowledge. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported to learn the same exceptional curriculum as their peers.
The school makes sure that their needs are precisely identified. The support that pupils with SEND receive is exemplary. They master new knowledge quickly and use this independently.
They achieve extraordinarily well.
The school's curriculum and teaching are focused on enabling pupils to remember new knowledge. Teachers build in frequent opportunities for pupils to practise this learning.
In mathematics, children in the early years quickly master number through repeated practise. Older pupils build on this knowledge, for example through securing their understanding of ratio by exploring scale drawings. Pupils develop secure knowledge across the curriculum.
For example, in physical education, pupils explain in detail how to perform different jumps and balances. The tasks that pupils are given inspire their curiosity to learn more. Pupils focus on their learning so that everyone can learn in a calm and purposeful environment.
Children in the early years grasp phonics quickly. Adults expertly teach Reception-age children to read. Children become fluent readers.
Adults share new and interesting vocabulary. Children use this vocabulary confidently in their own play and talk. Older pupils receive an excellent reading curriculum.
The school invests in carefully chosen literature, which inspires pupils to read widely and often. Adults routinely share high-quality texts and stories with pupils. Pupils use the example that their teachers set to read with expression and enthusiasm.
Reading is everywhere in this school. If pupils struggle to master reading, they receive exemplary support to help them to catch up.
The school's work to promote pupils' personal development is impressive.
The school provides pupils with many opportunities to discuss their ideas. Pupils know how to use the language of debating to offer opinions and to challenge others. They do this kindly and offer their well-reasoned ideas confidently.
Pupils are taught the importance of diversity and respect. This informs the way in which pupils celebrate each other's differences. Many pupils contribute as subject ambassadors.
They eagerly demonstrate the exciting things that they have learned. They are excellent role models for other pupils. Their enthusiasm is palpable.
Pupils receive a rich range of opportunities to explore their interests. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, regularly participate in sports, chess and science clubs. These opportunities are further enhanced by the 'St Peter's Award Scheme'.
For example, pupils take part in an entrepreneurial experience to learn about business and money. These experiences contribute significantly to pupils becoming confident and well-rounded individuals.
