Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Too many pupils in key stage 1 are not reading fluently due to insufficient focus on developing fluency.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils develop strong knowledge in well-embedded subjects like computing, but not consistently across all subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: Leaders should ensure teaching in mathematics allows pupils to recall important number facts efficiently.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils鈥� behaviour is good, they move sensibly and respect each other, contributing to a harmonious environment.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils do not secure key mathematical knowledge and many enter key stage 2 unable to read age-appropriate materials with understanding.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff plan carefully how to help pupils catch up in phonics, but not enough opportunities are provided for practicing reading fluently.
Support for SEND Pupils: The support for pupils with SEND is variable; leaders need to ensure consistent and appropriate targets for these pupils.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils feel happy, safe, and supported; bullying is promptly addressed by staff.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school is calm, with pleasant smells, music and flowers; pupils follow 鈥榞olden school rules鈥�.
Parent Feedback: Parents use Ofsted Parent View to give their opinions on the school, which influences inspection decisions.
Parental Involvement: The school involves parents through feedback systems and community activities.
Extracurricular Activities: Trips to the Lake District, theatres, museums, and local industry help raise aspiration among pupils.
Outdoor Facilities: Pupils enjoy a range of activities and resources during playtimes across the school site.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers are part of a cohesive team and feel valued and cared for.
Impact on Student Progress: While there are strong knowledge gains in some areas, overall academic aspirations are not fully realized.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Turbulence in staffing has slowed progress in some areas, affecting the consistency of student achievement.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Staff are being well supported to deliver the curriculum, especially in computing where expertise is evident.
