Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Reading is a high priority; children in early years learn sounds that letters represent and are frequently assessed to keep them on track.
Success of the Curriculum: In many subjects, pupils achieve well due to the carefully organized curriculum.
Areas Needing Improvement: In some subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge for pupils, leading to gaps in understanding.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff give extra time to those who need more help with their reading; this extra practice is working.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in and around school, responding well to teachers’ requests and taking pride in their work.
Performance in Maths & Reading: In some subjects, pupils do not know the essential knowledge that they should, but reading progress is strong.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff make sure that pupils with SEND can do the same work as all other pupils, and work with parents to identify needs early.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils said that bullying is rare, and staff deal well with any concerns. Staff are vigilant about safety.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff manage any safeguarding incidents very well and work well with outside agencies.
Parent Feedback: Inspectors considered responses to Ofsted Parent View, which were generally positive.
Parental Involvement: Staff work with parents to identify specific needs early on for pupils with SEND.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy their lessons and activities outdoors. They complete reading passports to show the range of books they have read.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers read books in story time that excite and enthuse pupils. They engage students with a well-maintained library.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers teach personal development through the curriculum, fostering respect and resilience.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders support subject leaders well to ensure they can lead their subjects effectively.
