Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The school has taken steps to develop a love of reading; children read books that match the sounds they have learned. However, support for pupils who fall behind is not always effective.
Success of the Curriculum: Although some subjects have clear goals, overall, the curriculum is not well-organized or consistently taught.
Areas Needing Improvement: The curriculum lacks detailed content and coherence, leading to gaps in students' knowledge and readiness for the next stages.
Behaviour and Attitudes: The school has made positive improvements; pupils are welcoming, polite, and show good behaviour and attitudes.
Performance in Maths & Reading: The support for pupils who fall behind in reading does not always help them make rapid progress.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who fall behind are identified, but the support they receive is not consistently effective.
Support for SEND Pupils: The school works with external agencies to adapt the curriculum and provide tailored support, allowing full participation for pupils with SEND.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: The school ensures that pupils know how to keep themselves safe online and in the wider world.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school creates an environment where everyone feels valued and promotes equality and diversity.
Parental Involvement: Parents can give their views through Ofsted Parent View and participate in school activities, such as breakfast and after-school clubs.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils engage in various clubs like coding and singing, which help develop new skills and cultural understanding.
Outdoor Facilities: School councillors have been involved with the development of the school environment and playground.
Teacher Engagement: Staff are motivated, positive, and feel their workload and well-being are considered.
Impact on Student Progress: While teachers regularly check what pupils know in strong subjects, this information isn't always used to improve curriculum planning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Subject leaders lack sufficient oversight, resulting in inconsistent curriculum delivery.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: In the strongest subjects, teachers check pupils' knowledge regularly, but overall, teaching quality varies.
