Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders have made learning to read a priority. Phonics teaching starts in Nursery where children learn to recognise and write initial letter sounds.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum for all pupils including those with SEND. Teachers know what to teach and how to teach it.
Areas Needing Improvement: In subjects like geography, teachers do not plan enough opportunities for pupils to revisit knowledge over time, making it harder for pupils to recall information.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers ensure children have plenty of opportunities to revisit making numbers by counting objects. Leaders have made learning to read a priority.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers identify pupils who need extra practice and help them in small groups or one-to-one to catch up quickly.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Most pupils follow the school rules of ‘Respect, Ready and Safe’. They are polite and respectful towards staff and each other.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff get to know children and their families from the start, helping to identify children with SEND early. Staff attend training to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is rare. Pupils feel confident to report any concerns to staff who act quickly to keep them safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe, including online. Staff ensure pupils learn about local risks such as railway safety.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers welcome the home visits that staff make to ensure children have the best possible start. Parents enjoy joining many school visits.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy learning new sports, developing musical talents, and taking part in competitive games such as dodgeball.
Teacher Engagement: Staff are proud to work at the school and value the practical measures that leaders have taken to improve their workload.
Impact on Student Progress: Staff support children extremely well to practise reading and writing, helping them achieve high levels of concentration and preparation for future stages.
