Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children in the early years are immersed in stories, rhymes, and songs that build their knowledge of sounds.
Success of the Curriculum: A well-designed and well-taught curriculum gives pupils the knowledge they need to succeed in future learning.
Areas Needing Improvement: In a small number of subjects, it is unclear what knowledge will be the most useful for pupils' subsequent learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Reading is given a high priority and students make good progress in reading and mathematics. Staff deliver phonics with precision.
Support for Falling Behind: Those pupils at risk of not keeping up are identified and supported effectively.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils are especially respectful to each other and to staff. Any disruption is very rare.
Support for SEND Pupils: Teachers and teaching assistants provide appropriate support for pupils with SEND, including those with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: If incidents of bullying do occur, they are dealt with quickly and effectively by staff.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school has a strong safeguarding culture with well-trained staff who work well with parents and outside agencies.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers are highly positive about the exceptional support and care that their children receive.
Parental Involvement: Pupils have the opportunity to take part in performances to show their parents what they have learned.
Extracurricular Activities: The school offers a variety of clubs such as Fame and Baby Ballet, and pupils enjoy trips out of school.
Teacher Engagement: Staff feel valued and agree that the school is well led and managed, with appropriate support provided.
Impact on Student Progress: The phonics scheme is delivered with precision, helping pupils become fluent readers quickly.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Regular checks are made to see what pupils have learned and where there may be gaps in their understanding.
Teaching Staff Challenges: In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified carefully enough what pupils need to remember, making it hard for teachers to design learning.
