Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: The quality of the teaching of phonics is inconsistent. Some teachers do not address pupils’ misconceptions.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have carefully planned mathematics; pupils remember what they have been taught.
Areas Needing Improvement: The curriculum in some subjects requires further development, particularly early reading and phonics.
Support for Falling Behind: Keep-up programmes that are matched to pupils’ gaps in knowledge are in place. Pupils who access these soon catch up.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils do not make enough progress when learning to read.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Most pupils behave well in lessons and breaktimes, but repeated incidents of bullying are problematic.
Support for SEND Pupils: Provision in classrooms is less effective because support plans do not give staff enough detail about the precise support pupils need.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Adults know the signs of risk and report concerns quickly; additional time is spent with vulnerable pupils teaching them safety.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Repeated incidents of bullying are a problem; steps taken by adults are not preventing reoccurrence.
Parent Feedback: Parents' views are considered through Ofsted Parent View.
Parental Involvement: The headteacher is keen to build positive relationships with families and works with them on attendance issues.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils speak enthusiastically about trips and after-school clubs like healthy cooking club.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers present subject matter clearly in mathematics; pupils remember what they have been taught.
Impact on Student Progress: Inconsistent phonics instruction impacts reading progress negatively.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some teachers do not address errors and misconceptions within lessons.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders should ensure that all staff are trained consistently in teaching phonics and checking pupils' knowledge.

From the Colburn Community Primary School
The new vision will be developed throughout the course of the upcoming year since the institution is now run by new leadership.
With the assistance of the school community, our current vision statement was revised at the beginning of the academic year 2017–2018.
It acknowledges our desire to be "great" and reflects our overarching goals, ethos, and values. We at Colburn Community Primary School are committed to fostering exceptional teaching and learning by holding our students to the highest standards and goals.
At Colburn Community Primary School, securing great teaching is a top priority. Inspiring, encouraging, and effective teaching and learning are supported by the relationship between staff and students.
Students are taught the value of tolerance and respect for one another, and safety and welfare are given top priority.
This makes sure that the school's work is centred on the students' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development, including the promotion of British values.
Because of our committed, innovative, and forward-thinking team, who take pleasure in their ability to recognise and address each child's unique requirements for learning and personal development, our objective for the school is to be recognised as "Outstanding."
We make sure that a variety of high-quality training is available, and that employees may share best practises and learn from one another.
All instructors actively contribute to ensuring the highest standards of teaching and learning through their leadership of various curricular areas.
Our goal is for all students to enter secondary school as independent, self-assured learners who are prepared to achieve not only exam success but also happiness, health, economic well-being, and fulfilment in adulthood.
