Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Staff have raised the expectation for pupils to read often and for pleasure. All pupils learn a well-sequenced phonics curriculum.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have introduced an ambitious curriculum. Subject leaders have secure knowledge but the curriculum is not taught consistently well.
Areas Needing Improvement: The reading curriculum is underdeveloped, not considering important comprehension skills. Expectations for what children can do in early years are not high enough.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs identified quickly and benefit from high levels of nurture and care.
Performance in Maths & Reading: The report highlights that while there are inviting reading areas, the broader reading curriculum lacks clarity on important knowledge and skills.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Older pupils follow behaviour expectations diligently, while younger ones need more support to manage their behaviour successfully.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and or/disabilities receive high levels of nurture and care with identified needs addressed quickly.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Staff and governors receive regular safeguarding training, understanding signs of risk and reporting concerns swiftly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders provide valuable school-based support and work effectively with external agencies, but need to assure quality of new staff checks.
Parent Feedback: Parents agree that pupils value the wealth of extra-curricular clubs on offer.
Parental Involvement: Pupils regularly visit and engage positively with the local community with activities like visiting care homes and the Houses of Parliament.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils value the extra-curricular clubs, such as book clubs and community engagement programs.
Teacher Engagement: Staff feel well supported with their workload and well-being.
Impact on Student Progress: Leaders have raised the expectations for pupils鈥� learning but it鈥檚 too early to evaluate the impact.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some subjects are not yet implemented well enough. Teachers need to ensure curriculum implementation across all subjects.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders should ensure that the provision in the early years supports all children to learn successfully.
