Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: The outdoor area is filled with many activities for children to get involved in. The indoor classroom is spacious and provides opportunities to make models, share books, and enjoy water-based activities.
Activities: Many activities each day where children can use their imagination and creativity. During my visit, I saw children making a bus from wooden boxes and wheels.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff model their expectations very positively so that children quickly learn how to behave and interact with each other and with new adults.
Communication: You have chosen a new electronic system of communication to be implemented from this term.
Programs and Resources: The measurable targets for success within the school development plan are allowing the governing body to compare outcomes for different cohorts and groups of children.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Many of the staff have worked at the school for several years, but nevertheless are very receptive to any new ideas and ever better ways of working.
Safeguarding Training: Staff are well trained in safeguarding and receive regular updates. They understand their utmost responsibility to pass on any concerns.
Play and Learning Integration: Children follow systems and routines happily. Sessions run smoothly, and their level of cooperation is exemplary.
Transition to Primary School: Almost all children leave the school with at least the skills typically found in children of the same age, and a majority exceed these. They are very well prepared for Reception Year.
Child Safety Management: Children know that you will help to keep them safe from harm while there and, as a result, they play and learn happily.
Happiness and Settling: The consistency of staff approach makes children feel very safe and helps them to settle in extremely quickly.
