Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders have kept a sharp focus on teaching pupils to read. The curriculum for phonics is set out clearly.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have developed a curriculum which sets out clearly what pupils will learn, and teachers make links to what pupils already know.
Areas Needing Improvement: Leaders have been slow to ensure that teachers help all pupils with SEND to access the curriculum successfully.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers check for any gaps in knowledge or misconceptions before they teach new content. Most pupils achieve well.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders put extra catch-up sessions in place promptly for those who need them.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons, listen carefully to their teachers, and settle quickly to listen and to learn in class.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with more complex needs get carefully planned support, but some pupils with SEND do not always get the exact support they need to achieve well.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils understand what bullying is and why it is wrong. They trust that teachers will stop it and any unkind behaviour.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders work effectively with external agencies, such as social services, to keep pupils safe.
Parental Involvement: Pupils elect a school council who listen to their views and work with leaders to improve the school.
Parent Feedback: A small group of parents lack confidence in school systems to manage and promote good behaviour.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils who enjoy sports can take part in events, such as cross-country, netball and dance clubs.
Outdoor Facilities: Pupils enjoy their outdoor learning sessions and raise funds to run their own gardening club at breaktimes.
Teacher Engagement: Leaders provide ongoing training, so that staff have the expertise they need to teach well.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers revisit previous learning regularly in lessons to check understanding, helping pupils remember the most important learning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Leaders have worked hard to maintain a consistently positive ethos during recent staffing changes.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Teachers explain new concepts and vocabulary clearly.

From the Gosfield Community Primary School
We have a lot going on and are a busy but pleasant school. We hope that this new website gives you a glimpse into our school and offers current information for parents, students, and the larger community. We are a small school of 140 children and have five classes; four of our classes are mixed age with year six being the only class taught as a single year group. The maximum number of students in each of our year groups is 20. We work hard to provide a cross curricular approach to learning and we firmly believe that children learn by different experiences and through their own investigations. We have a core belief in our school that as well as needing to attain the highest standards we can in our academic studies, we must also work hard to be the best person we can be. Our pupils are supported to develop a growth mindset when facing new challenges and are encouraged to be reflective on their choices and actions in school and in the community. We are proud of every single one of our students and are confident that they will go on to change the world in their own special way.
