Ofsted Reports

Ofsted (November 2014) deemed that we are an OUTSTANDING school. They said...

• Children in Reception make excellent progress in their academic and personal development.
• High-quality teaching enables pupils to make outstanding progress. Standards are high, and pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education.
• The school makes sure that pupils of all abilities, including those with special educational needs and the most able, have an equal chance to succeed. Very good use is made of extra funding which helps disadvantaged pupils to catch up rapidly.
• The headteacher provides outstanding leadership. All staff have a strong sense of purpose in working together to improve the school.
• Teachers use their detailed knowledge of what pupils can already do to plan challenging lessons. Their feedback gives pupils a very clear understanding of how to improve their work.
•  Pupils enjoy coming to school. Their attendance is much higher than average, and their behaviour is outstanding. Pupils’ enthusiasm for learning helps them make rapid progress.
• The school’s work to keep pupils safe and secure is outstanding. Parents express great satisfaction because their children are so happy and well looked after, and do so well.
•  Leaders are especially skilled at training staff, and teachers are keen to learn from each other. As a result, teaching is outstanding and standards are rising rapidly.
• The vibrant curriculum enhances pupils’ knowledge and helps them gain considerable skills in English and mathematics. Just occasionally, pupils do not present their work to a high enough standard.
•  The school promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development especially well. Links with other schools and communities help to prepare them very well for life in modern Britain.
•  Governors have an excellent understanding of the strengths of the school and how it can improve still further. Their challenge and support to the school’s leaders are exemplary.
