School Description

Pupils are keen to learn because they are interested in the topics that they study. Trips and visitors to school also enhance their learning. Pupils enjoy taking part in a wide range of clubs. These activities help pupils to develop new interests and strong personal skills. Despite pupils’ eagerness to learn, leaders, including governors, do not have high enough expectations of pupils in some subjects. Pupils’ outcomes show that they do not build sufficiently well on what they have learned in key stage 1. For example, attainment in reading has declined over time and is very low by the end of Year 6. Leaders have not addressed weaknesses in the teaching of reading. However, pupils’ achievement is improving in mathematics. Some parents are also concerned about their child’s progress. A third of those who responded to Parent View, Ofsted’s online parent survey said that they did not feel well informed about how well their children were doing. Pupils are polite and respectful. They behave well. They enjoy debating with each other. They understand the importance of protecting other people’s rights. Pupils feel safe. They have a good understanding of how to improve their own mental and physical well-being. Pupils benefit from accessing mindfulness activities in the ‘Sunshine Room’ at breaktimes. Staff take good care of pupils. Leaders deal with incidents of bullying effectively.
