Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Foundational Skills: Many Birstwith children already have secure phonics knowledge when they start school. This helps them learn to read quickly. All Year 1 pupils achieved the standard in the phonics screening check in 2022.
Success of the Curriculum: The new curriculum is well established in all subjects, and teachers successfully adapt it for mixed-age classes.
Areas Needing Improvement: The curriculum does not meet the needs of all pupils consistently well, and some are not achieving as well as they could.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders use diagnostic tests skilfully to identify specific processing difficulties, allowing tailored support for pupils.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave extremely well in lessons and are excited by learning.
Support for SEND Pupils: The SENCo gives teachers ideas to meet each pupil’s needs, such as more thinking time or presenting information in smaller chunks. This precise approach is helping pupils with SEND to make good progress.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is extremely rare, staff know that Harrogate is a ‘hot spot’ for county lines, and leaders have adapted safeguarding training accordingly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders have adapted the curriculum to ensure that pupils know how to stay safe, especially concerning local river hazards.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers fully support their children’s learning at home.
Parental Involvement: All staff and parents share leaders’ high ambition for every pupil.
Teacher Engagement: Curriculum expertise from other local schools is used well by leaders to keep teachers’ workload manageable.
Impact on Student Progress: This precise approach is helping pupils with SEND to make good progress.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Teachers sometimes miss opportunities to build on pupils’ prior and extensive knowledge.
