Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Systematic teaching of the links between letters and sounds means that children quickly develop early reading skills.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is well planned and reflects the interests of the pupils. The rich and varied experiences provided by the school contribute particularly well to pupils鈥� good spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Areas Needing Improvement: Further accelerate progress in writing, so that attainment is in line with that in reading and mathematics.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Most pupils make at least the progress that is expected of them in all subjects and the percentage making better than expected progress has increased to above national averages.
Support for Falling Behind: The organisation of pupils into mixed-age 鈥榣earning pods鈥� and 鈥榣ife skills鈥� sessions contributes very successfully to pupils鈥� good progress.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well and are clear about what is expected of them. They are polite and welcoming, and keen to take responsibility.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs are provided with good support and make good progress due to closely monitored individual teaching and 鈥榠ntervention pods鈥�.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Workshops and lessons help them understand different forms of bullying and the need to respect others, whatever their background. There are very few incidents of bullying or racism and these are dealt with promptly and effectively. The pupils鈥� own anti-bullying squad helps pupils sort out any difficulties.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school sets high expectations for behaviour through a consistent system which pupils understand. Pupils feel safe and well cared for in school.
Parent Feedback: The majority of parents are supportive of the work of the school.
Parental Involvement: The parents鈥� forum provides them with opportunities to discuss relevant issues with senior leaders.
Extracurricular Activities: The school provides a range of rich experiences and after-school activities, which contribute very well to pupils鈥� spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers plan carefully to meet the needs of different pupils. Teachers praise and encourage pupils who, in turn, are keen to learn.
Impact on Student Progress: Good teaching leads pupils to make good progress throughout the school.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The headteacher and other leaders regularly check the quality of teaching by watching lessons and looking at pupils鈥� work.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Not enough teaching is of outstanding quality and the best practice seen is not yet consistent across the school.

Our values demonstrate how our vision is contagious. At St. Paul's, we think it's critical to deepen our grasp of the principles that guide our behaviour and foster moral and spiritual awareness. Through our everyday acts of worship, we try to understand the significance of the values and what they imply. Despite the fact that these qualities encompass all human values, we aim to ground them in the Christian faith by connecting them to the Bible through tales and readings. To commemorate Harvest, Christingle, Christmas, Easter, and our Welcome and Leavers Services, we attend services at St. Paul's church. On each of these occasions, we cordially encourage families and members of the neighbourhood to join us. See the pdf attachment to learn more about each of our values.
