OFSTED & Performance
Rated good by ofsted
We were rated a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted at our last inspection in 2019. The report can be downloaded by clicking the button below, but the highlights of the report were that:
- Since the last inspection, leaders and governors have brought significant improvements to the quality of education provided by the school.
- Pupils’ progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of key stage 2 has shown marked improvements form the previous inspection.
- A broad and balanced curriculum meets pupils’ needs well and ensures that they learn well across a range of subjects.
- The large majority of teachers use questioning and assessment successfully to develop and deepen pupils’ knowledge and understanding.
- The quality of leadership, teaching and support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength of the school. These pupils make strong progress from their starting points.
- Leaders and governors have ensured that safeguarding is effective.
- Pupils’ behaviour in the majority of lessons and their conduct around school are good.
- Staff promote positive relationships which ensure that pupils make good use of their time in lessons.
- Children make strong progress as a result of effective leadership and teaching in the early years. They are well-prepared to move to Year 1.
