Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders place a strong emphasis on the importance of reading. They prioritise regular opportunities for pupils to read and be read to.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is broad and suitably ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND. In most subjects, essential knowledge is identified and ordered well.
Areas Needing Improvement: In a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining and developing the curriculum. Consequently, some pupils do not develop sufficient depth of subject-specific knowledge.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils鈥� positive behaviour and attitudes contribute to how well they learn.
Support for Falling Behind: Extra support and catch-up sessions are provided for any pupils who fall behind in their reading.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Bullying and name-calling are never tolerated. Leaders deal with it effectively should it occur. Pupils are polite and form strong relationships with adults.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff successfully help pupils with SEND follow the same ambitious curriculum as their peers. Ongoing training ensures swift and effective identification and addressing of additional needs.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Leaders set high expectations for behaviour and resolve incidents effectively. Staff receive regular training to spot signs of potential harm.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils learn about personal safety, including online risks. A local community support worker encourages family engagement and resilience.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers appreciate the supportive and kind environment that leaders create.
Parental Involvement: Through Ofsted Parent View and direct interaction, parents can give their views on the school.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils benefit from a range of extra-curricular activities such as baking club and team sports.
Outdoor Facilities: They go on residential visits and school trips, gaining an understanding of their local community and the wider world.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers have strong subject knowledge and adapt their teaching to small cohorts effectively.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers check carefully what pupils know and remember, adapting future teaching accordingly.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Teachers are adept at teaching the curriculum effectively and adapting it to ensure pupils build securely on prior knowledge.
Teaching Staff Challenges: In a few subjects, teachers鈥� strategies to check on pupils鈥� learning are underdeveloped, resulting in misconceptions and gaps in knowledge.
