"In fact, the inspection team were overwhelmed by the kindness they saw from our staff towards the children.

"This was rightly highlighted as a real strength and I am so proud of the fantastic team of people who work so hard here at our school.

"Our children were the most fantastic advocates and ambassadors for our school during the two days and again their fabulous behaviour and the way our school manages behaviour was highlighted as a real strength which is lovely.

The report also summarises areas in which the school can improve.

It says: "The revised curriculum that the school is currently implementing is having a positive impact on the quality of teaching.

"There are still some variations that can limit pupils’ learning.

"Leaders should ensure that the effective practices that are being implemented are embedded and shared more systematically across year groups.

"Overall, the revised curriculum is mainly well planned and sequenced.

However, there are still adjustments to be made in some subjects to continue to develop the curriculum so that learning is always well sequenced and that tasks meet

pupils’ needs.

"This is to fully secure pupils’ long-term memorisation of knowledge.

"Leaders should ensure that the sequence of learning is further refined in some subjects, such as geography.

"Some teachers are new to subject leadership.

"Their inexperience means that their skills in curriculum development are only just starting to build.

"Leaders should provide leadership training for teachers who are new to leading subjects.

"They need to embed the new subject leadership structure to continue to develop the curriculum for the foundation subjects."
