Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children begin to learn to read as soon as they start school. Staff get the training and ongoing coaching they need to teach the phonics programme.
Success of the Curriculum: The school has a well-designed, ambitious curriculum which meets the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Areas Needing Improvement: The delivery of some of the curriculum is not yet consistently effective in all classes. Not all staff check sufficiently well what pupils know and do not know before introducing new learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Inspectors carried out deep dives in early reading, mathematics, PE and history. Inspectors also visited lessons, looked at examples of pupils鈥� work, held discussions with teachers and talked with pupils.
Support for Falling Behind: Some pupils lack the confidence to read with fluency. These pupils receive extra group and one-to-one support to help them catch up.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful to adults and each other. Pupils know and follow the school Christian values of 鈥榟ope, peace, courage, friendship, trust, and compassion鈥�.
Support for SEND Pupils: The school meets the needs of pupils with SEND well. Where appropriate, staff adapt their teaching to ensure that these pupils access the same curriculum as their peers.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils feel safe. They are well equipped with the knowledge of how to stay safe, including when online. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school should ensure that all staff know how best to deliver the curriculum, including in how they use assessment, so that all pupils know and remember what they learn over time.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers are very happy with the provision for their children. A parent, typical of many, commented: 鈥楾his is a fantastic school, the school has a strong supportive culture and is great for all pupils of all abilities.鈥�
Parental Involvement: There are close links between the school and the local community it serves. The school uses these links well in its provision of education for its pupils.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy the many sporting opportunities on offer to them. Sports are inclusive for all at this school.
Teacher Engagement: All staff feel proud to work at this school. They feel well supported with their workload and well-being.
Impact on Student Progress: Where teaching is stronger, staff have good subject knowledge. They ensure that they choose activities that match the learning intentions well.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Staff check that pupils鈥� understanding is secure before they introduce new learning. As a result, most pupils remember what they are learning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Not all staff check sufficiently well what pupils know and do not know before introducing new learning. Some pupils struggle to remember what they have learned.

Edward Browne founded our company in 1691, and we are happy to serve the Horbling and Swaton areas.
We value each child's growth in both their spiritual and academic lives as a Church of England school that is a part of the Lincolnshire Anglican Academies Trust.

If you already have a child enrolled here, we wish to fortify our relationships with you in order to give your child the best education we can.
