Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Reading is a strength throughout the school. The youngest children learn the first steps of reading when they are in Nursery.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum that helps pupils make links across different subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: In some foundation subjects, leaders have not identified with enough precision what teachers need to teach and when they need to teach it.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Recent improvements are evident in the swift and decisive action leaders took in response to last year鈥檚 low key stage 2 outcomes.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders ensure that all teachers and teaching assistants are well trained and that any pupils who find reading more difficult do not fall too far behind their classmates.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Teachers make sure that all pupils understand why good behaviour is important, resulting in a calm atmosphere throughout the school.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils attending the 鈥極rchard鈥� and the 鈥楪rove鈥�, the school鈥檚 two specially resourced provisions, enjoy learning a rich curriculum and receive the bespoke support they need from well-trained staff.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils state bullying is rare as the adults quickly resolve pupils鈥� worries. In lessons, pupils are attentive and considerate of each other.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Safeguarding is a central focus for all staff. Leaders have made sure that adults are vigilant and know how to record and report if they are worried about a pupil.
