Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Teaching supports pupils of all abilities to make good progress over time. Pupils鈥� attainment is rising in all key stages.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is broad and balanced but leaders' monitoring does not focus well enough on pupils鈥� progress in foundation subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: Handwriting, spelling, and punctuation skills are not taught consistently; reading comprehension skills need to be taught more explicitly.
Support for Falling Behind: Any pupils who are not making good progress in reading, writing, and mathematics are identified early and given additional support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Staff鈥檚 high expectations and focus on celebrating achievements motivate pupils and help them develop good attitudes toward learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils' progress is most rapid in mathematics, while achievement in reading is improving. However, comprehension skills are not well-taught.
Support for SEND Pupils: Funding for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is used carefully to promote their achievement and well-being.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: There are rigorous procedures to monitor behaviour and bullying; such incidents have reduced significantly since the new school opened.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The procedures to safeguard pupils are rigorous and effective. Pupils say that they feel cared for and safe. British values are promoted well.
Parent Feedback: Very few parents responded to Parent View, but those who spoke with inspectors were positive about the school and pleased with the changes that have taken place.
Parental Involvement: Parents are encouraged to contribute to their children鈥檚 learning records and to participate in workshops to help them support their children at home.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils benefit from a range of extra-curricular activities that extend their understanding.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers are committed and enthusiastic. Effective teaching supports pupils of all abilities to make good progress over time.
Impact on Student Progress: The quality of teaching supports good progress in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Monitoring of teaching and scrutiny of pupils鈥� work are effective in supporting teachers to improve what they do in lessons.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some less effective practice in aspects of writing and in some non-core subjects is not picked up.
