Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The school prioritises reading effectively. Children begin learning phonics as soon as they settle into Reception.
Success of the Curriculum: The school has high aspirations for pupils鈥� learning and achievement. Most recently, leaders have been focused on making key improvements to the school鈥檚 curriculum.
Areas Needing Improvement: In some subjects, the school is still developing how teachers check what pupils have already learned before moving on to new learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: The proportion of pupils who met the expected standards at the end of key stages 1 and 2 has increased.
Support for Falling Behind: If pupils fall behind in the phonics programme, they are quickly identified. These pupils have access to appropriate support, which helps them to catch up quickly.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils鈥� behaviour in lessons is good. Staff promote positive behaviour by encouraging pupils to make 鈥榞reen choices鈥�.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with SEND receive effective support to learn well across the curriculum. The curriculum is bespoke to these pupils鈥� stages of learning and enables them to develop independence.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. Pupils know that if they have a worry, they can speak to trusted adults who will support them.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils鈥� well-being is actively promoted. They learn how to keep themselves healthy, including practical ways of looking after their mental health.
Parental Involvement: Leaders take appropriate action to support families to help improve attendance.
Parent Feedback: The inspectors considered the responses to the Ofsted Parent View questionnaire and the free-text comments that were submitted.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils learn new skills through the range of extra-curricular opportunities offered. Trips and visits to places of interest are carefully planned to build on the curriculum.
Outdoor Facilities: Children in Reception and Nursery get off to a strong start. They settle into school life quickly. The well-designed curriculum promotes a love of learning through curiosity and sustained focus during learning activities.
Teacher Engagement: Staff feel well supported and appreciate the help and training they are given in ensuring that the education provided helps pupils consistently learn and achieve well.
Impact on Student Progress: New learning does not always build on what pupils know and can do. The school should ensure that teachers have the knowledge and expertise in all subjects to implement the curriculum effectively.
Teaching Staff Challenges: In some subjects, teachers are not always precisely checking where pupils are unsure or unclear about what has previously been taught.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The school should ensure teachers have the training and support to ensure pupils know and remember more across the full curriculum.
