Quotes from the Report

  • Pupils receive an exceptional education. The school motto is 'Be the best you can be'. Pupils are keen to live up to this, and they do. This is true in their academic work and in their behaviour and friendships.
  • Staff across the trust have worked together to design an ambitious and highly effective curriculum. This work is then further refined by staff in the school to meet the needs of pupils. Teachers have excellent knowledge of the subjects they teach. They choose just the right activities to help children learn and remember.'
  • Teachers understand pupils' needs. They adapt their teaching to meet those needs while maintaining high expectations for all pupils.
  • Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Staff establish very clear and consistent routines, which pupils confidently follow. Pupils are highly engaged in learning. They also support and help one another.
  • The 50 Experiences that underpin pupil's personal development are carefully planned from Reception through to Year 6. They include visiting the coast and learning about space in a planetarium. There are also many opportunities to connect with the community and learn about the world of work.
  • Staff feel valued. Strategies have been put in place, such as the approach to assessment, make their workload more manageable.
  • Pupil leaders, who have various roles in school are excellent role models. Their leadership impacts the school's culture. For example, the work of pupil 'eco-leaders' has increased the number of pupils who walk or cycle to school.
