What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has taken effective steps to create and implement an ambitious curriculum. It has carefully set out the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn in each year group. The school has ensured that staff are not overwhelmed by these ongoing developments.
Every decision or change that the school makes is made with pupils' best interests at heart. The impact of improvements made to the curriculum is evident in pupils' achievement. This is reflected in the strong published outcomes in 2024 for all groups of pupils.
The governing body is deeply committed to the school and the community it serves. It has a very strong knowledge of the school that ensures leaders continue to improve the quality of education pupils receive.
The school prioritises staff development and collaboration.
This has led to staff consistently delivering the curriculum expertly. Lesson activities enthuse and deepen pupils' understanding. The provision for pupils with SEND in school is highly effective.
All pupils with SEND have targeted and precise support in place so they can access and succeed in every subject.
In almost all subjects, teachers check pupils have remembered the essential knowledge. They support pupils to address any mistakes or misunderstandings they may have.
However, in a couple of subjects, the checks on pupils' learning are not as robust in finding out if pupils have retained the specific knowledge that is set out in the curriculum. This means that in these subjects pupils have some gaps in their knowledge.
Staff have the expertise to deliver the phonics programme very well.
In the Reception Year, staff help children to use their phonics knowledge accurately so that they sound out and read simple words confidently. Across the school, teachers ensure that the books pupils read are matched to the sounds that they know. Staff provide prompt help for any pupils with gaps in their reading knowledge.
As a result, pupils become confident and fluent readers.
The early years provision has developed significantly since the previous inspection. It is an exciting place to be.
Staff design activities for children to develop their curiosity, creativity and knowledge successfully. As a result, children engage extremely well. They sustain their concentration and play cooperatively.
The curriculum that children learn provides them with meaningful opportunities to develop their use of words, express themselves and learn about the world around them. Expertly trained staff ensure pupils think about what they are learning about in different ways. This helps deepen their thinking.
Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils demonstrate highly positive attitudes to learning. They are keen to contribute to lessons, and they take great pride in their work.
The school rewards pupils for their hard work and achievements regularly. Pupils find this motivating. Rates of attendance are high.
Leaders monitor attendance closely and put support in place for pupils when it is needed.Pupils' personal development is exceptional. The school provides extremely strong welfare and pastoral support steered by the school's values.
The school's extensive nurture provision identifies and addresses the social and emotional needs of each pupil effectively. Pupils learn the skills of highly effective leadership through such roles as well-being ambassadors and play leaders. As a result, pupils become confident and resilient citizens.
Through the curriculum, pupils also gain an in-depth knowledge of current issues, such as diversity and equality. Pupils truly believe that 'you can be who you want to be'.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
What does the school need to do to improve?
• In a couple of subjects, the school does not use assessment to check pupils' understanding of previously taught knowledge well enough. This means that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to ensure that systems are embedded so teachers can quickly identify any gaps in pupils' knowledge and close them.
