Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Success of the Curriculum: The precise plans showing what pupils learn and when are not in place in many subjects. Learning is poor.
Areas Needing Improvement: The curriculum planning, delivery and assessment of reading, writing and phonics need significant improvement.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils struggle in reading and writing, and there is little sign of improvement among Year 6 students.

Impact on Student Progress: Significant gaps in student understanding and low standards by end of Year 6 show minimal progress.
