Report highlights
  • This is a small school with a remarkable reach.
  • Pupils look for ways to make a positive difference and appreciate how life is different in other countries and cultures. They understand and accept each other’s differences, recognise when someone needs help and step in: the school teaches pupils to become problem solvers.
  • Pupils of all ages reflect the school’s high expectations of themselves and each other: behaviour is exemplary.
  • School life is made all the richer by the strong voice that pupils have in planning extra curricular opportunities. A programme of residential trips and meet-ups with other trust schools helps pupils to develop confidence and thrive.
  • The school provides an ambitious, broad and memorable curriculum: pupils gain detailed knowledge across different subjects and participate keenly in discussions.
  • Pupils are almost always proficient word readers by the end of Year 1. This is down to the determined support provided by staff when pupils struggle. Pupils’ early success in reading means that they enjoy literature as they grow older: older pupils develop sophisticated interests in different genres and influence one another by sharing favourite authors.
  • Pupils with SEND receive effective support with their speech and language, as well as their social and emotional needs. The school does not hesitate to make extra provision or to arrange specialist support.
  • Over time, the school has established a culture of high attendance. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, attend very well.
  • Lesson time is always productive due to pupils’ impeccable behaviour and eagerness to learn.
  • Pupils are well prepared for their lives outside of school: the range and quality of opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills and to become active citizens is exceptional. They develop good character, which they show by going the extra mile.
All of this helps to make the school somewhere that pupils want to be.
