Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders know that turning pupils into lifelong readers is a priority. Staff are well trained in helping pupils learn to read.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders carefully plan what pupils need to learn. In some subjects, teachers do this extremely well, such as in reading, mathematics, physical education, and computing.
Areas Needing Improvement: In other subjects, like history and science, the sequencing of learning needs improvement. Further work is needed to ensure learning is broken down step-by-step.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers check what pupils understand. Pupils say that this really helps them.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers make sure that they get extra help straight away if a pupil struggles to understand.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well. They respect their teachers and are encouraged to ask questions and engage in discussions.
Support for SEND Pupils: For pupils with SEND, extra help is specific to their individual needs. Leaders work closely with professionals, teachers, pupils, and parents.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils' safety is taken seriously. All staff are well trained. Bullying happens but is uncommon and dealt with promptly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Adults deal with any problems or concerns immediately. However, senior leaders do not pay enough attention to how often some derogatory words are being used.

Parental Involvement: Parents feel involved in supporting their child's education and attending school events.
Teacher Engagement: Staff comment on how happy they are at this school and how closely they all work as a team.
