School Description

Pupils are happy, safe and do well in their learning. Staff have high expectations for pupils. They give them a lot of care and support to enable them to make strong progress. Pupils understand what to do in lessons and in day-to-day routines because staff give them step-by-step instructions and build up their learning. This means that pupils are relaxed in class and work hard. Staff help pupils to make the best use of their talents and abilities. Wherever pupils go, staff greet them with a smile and a welcome. When anyone gets anxious or needs to communicate urgently, staff are on hand to give calm reassurance. At the end of the school day, pupils often want to stay and do more because they have had such a good day. Behaviour is good in classrooms, at breaktimes and in corridors. Even though the school is growing in size because it is more popular, it is calm and well managed. Pupils get on well together. Staff do not tolerate bullying. Teachers give plenty of helpful information to families about how well pupils are doing. Parents and carers value this highly. A typical comment about the school from parents is: ‘The school has changed my child’s life for the better.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Pupils do well throughout the school. The ambitious curriculum helps pupils to thrive. Leaders have made sure that the curriculum plans are logically sequenced to deepen pupils’ knowledge and skills over time. This has helped pupils to develop strong reading, writing, science and mathematics skills. Teachers help pupils to remember what they have learned, and this enables them to make effective progress. Teachers plan learning with a great deal of thought. There are always interesting resources for pupils to use to help to keep them focused on their learning. Pupils find learning fun and enjoyable.
