School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Pupils benefit from good-quality teaching and a curriculum that in most subjects prepares them well for the next stage in their education. You, the governors and your team have ensured over the last two years that standards are above average in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils are developing key skills in subjects such as information and communication technology, physical education and French. You have concentrated on improving the teaching and learning in science and this is evident from the regular opportunities that pupils have to carry out experiments. In history and geography, the teaching is not as good because the expectations of what pupils can achieve are not high enough. You and the governing body have ensured that teaching and learning have improved since the last inspection. For example, the work to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics has resulted in a curriculum that is a strength of the school. In all classes visited, pupils regularly carry out reasoning and problemsolving activities that stretch pupils of all abilities and develop resilience and fluency with numbers. Typically, in lessons and around the school, most pupils are well behaved, work hard and enjoy the positive relationships that they have with each other and the adults in school. Pupils spoken to recognise that there are a few pupils with challenging behaviour, but maturely explain how this does not concern them as the teachers manage these pupils effectively.
