Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Foundational Skills: In the early years, children are immersed in a curriculum with reading at its heart.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils enjoy learning a full curriculum.
Areas Needing Improvement: Too many pupils did not learn as well as they could due to previous weak subject curriculums.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who need to catch up with reading are prioritised. These pupils receive timely, precise support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils show positive attitudes to their work, and their learning is rarely disturbed by the behaviour of others.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Standards in reading, writing and mathematics have been low in recent years.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with SEND have their needs identified quickly and receive appropriate, additional support.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say occasional incidents of bullying are resolved swiftly by caring staff.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The recently formed pastoral team has strengthened existing systems and procedures.
Parental Involvement: Leaders work closely with families and other agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
Parent Feedback: Responses to the online survey, Ofsted Parent View, were considered.
Teacher Engagement: Some staff require additional training to gain the knowledge and skills they need to teach reading effectively.
Impact on Student Progress: Leaders have begun to construct a well-sequenced mathematics curriculum to improve teaching strategies.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Staff do not ensure that pupils’ reading books are matched to their reading ability.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Assessment is poor in most subjects, and teachers do not always give pupils activities that match their abilities.
