Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Reading is a priority, with a strong focus on developing pupils鈥� love of reading and appropriate training for staff in delivering phonics. However, some pupils' reading books do not match the sounds they learn in class.
Success of the Curriculum: There has been recent improvement in mathematics with signs that outcomes are rising.
Areas Needing Improvement: The curriculum is not planned coherently or sequenced well in some subjects, and key vocabulary is not identified, reducing pupils' ability to build and retain important knowledge.
Behaviour and Attitudes: The behaviour of pupils in school is calm and orderly. They listen carefully in lessons and behave well.
Performance in Maths & Reading: There has been recent improvement in mathematics, showing signs that outcomes are rising. However, there are still deficiencies in the English curriculum.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders have not ensured that the lowest-attaining pupils, disadvantaged pupils, and those with SEND receive the necessary support to master skills and catch up quickly.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff identify pupils with SEND early, ensuring that most pupils receive the support they need and access specialist support for complex needs. However, few choose to attend after-school clubs.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils know bullying is wrong and that staff will resolve it quickly. Leaders ensure staff receive regular training to recognize signs of potential abuse.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils are taught about healthy relationships and online safety through the curriculum. They are confident to speak to staff if they feel unsafe.
Parent Feedback: Parents鈥� responses to Parent View and informal discussions indicate satisfaction with the school's handling of pupil wellbeing and education.
Parental Involvement: Leaders have invested in online phonic books for pupils to read at home with parents, although many lower-attaining and disadvantaged pupils do not access these resources.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy extracurricular activities such as bird watching, football, dance, and drama clubs.
Outdoor Facilities: Pupils enjoy forest school lessons and learning important outdoor skills.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers have received appropriate training for the new phonics program and demonstrate strong subject knowledge.
Impact on Student Progress: Recent improvements in teaching have shown rising outcomes in mathematics, though deficiencies remain in English.
Teaching Staff Challenges: A few subject leaders are new and inexperienced, requiring further support to effectively evaluate and improve curriculum areas.
