Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Most staff have been trained to teach the phonics programme, and do so well.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have designed a curriculum which focuses on the development of pupils' use of subject-specific vocabulary.
Areas Needing Improvement: Teachers have too much flexibility in what they teach, leading to variation in the effectiveness of the curriculum.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well. There is a calm atmosphere throughout the school.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils who are disadvantaged have extra teaching sessions to introduce new topics, but this does not happen every term.
Support for Falling Behind: They receive additional support, but this is not planned or delivered in a systematic way.
Support for SEND Pupils: Individual targets for some pupils with SEND are not specific enough. Teaching is not always adapted to meet pupils鈥� individual needs.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying rarely happens, but pupils say adults always deal with it, when it does.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders do not always check that follow-up meetings and incidents are accurately recorded.
Parent Feedback: Leaders did not consult on the relationships education policy with parents.
Extracurricular Activities: Leaders offer a wide range of opportunities for pupils to experience in addition to the daily curriculum, such as choir, art and science clubs.
Teacher Engagement: Staff are overwhelmingly positive about the support from leaders regarding their workload and well-being.
Impact on Student Progress: There is variation in what pupils remember due to insufficient opportunities to recall and build upon their previous learning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: The additional support for pupils with SEND and those who find reading and writing difficult is too varied.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders should train staff to use strategies well to secure all pupils鈥� understanding of the curriculum.
