Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Children begin the school’s new phonics programme as soon as they start in the early years. They read books that match well to their current knowledge of phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: The school has ensured that pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils build a secure body of knowledge over time.
Areas Needing Improvement: In some subjects, the school’s curricular thinking is less precise, and pupils do not develop a deep understanding of the content in these subjects.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils make positive progress in their learning, often from low starting points. Many achieve well by the time that they leave key stage 2.
Support for Falling Behind: The school organises a range of extra support for those pupils who struggle to read confidently. This support helps pupils to close any gaps in their knowledge of sounds.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils have an impressive attitude to their learning and demonstrate exceptional levels of conduct during lessons and throughout the school day.
Support for SEND Pupils: The school has secure systems in place to quickly identify pupils who may have SEND. Pupils with SEND are ably supported by staff to access their learning effectively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils have a secure knowledge of how to look after their own mental and physical health and know how to keep themselves safe.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Staff know how to recognise the signs that suggest a pupil might be at risk. The school takes sufficient action to manage these concerns.
Parent Feedback: Parents can use Ofsted Parent View to give Ofsted their opinion on their child's school, or to find out what other parents and carers think.
Parental Involvement: Parents are involved in the school community through performances and engagement with their children’s learning.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils’ learning is enhanced through trips and sporting competitions. They also learn how to play musical instruments and perform to their families.
Impact on Student Progress: Staff carry out effective checks on pupils’ learning during lessons and provide strong guidance to quickly correct misconceptions.
Teacher Engagement: Staff are particularly appreciative of the school’s recent actions to help them to manage the additional challenges presented by the move to temporary buildings.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Staff sometimes face challenges due to weaknesses in curriculum design and delivery, which are not addressed as swiftly as they could be.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The school should develop its approach to evaluating the quality and effectiveness of the curriculum in specific subjects.

From the Ss Simon & Jude CofE Primary School, Bolton
Bolton's Great Lever neighbourhood is home to SS Simon and Jude CE Primary School.
We are a convertor academy that became a founding member of the SS Simon & Jude Academy Trust T/A Vantage Academy Trust in November of 2012.
The SS Simon and Jude is the centre of our neighbourhood.
We hope that this has given you some insight into the school's philosophy and educational approach.
We think there is a very straightforward, yet highly effective recipe for giving our students a top-notch education. Children need a positive school climate, small class sizes, and high expectations for themselves.
At SS Simon and Jude, we have a fantastic staff of instructors and support staff who are committed to assisting students in realising their full potential.
Our school's ethos is centred on respect for one another, appropriate behaviour, and courtesies.
Students follow a curriculum that is customised to their unique needs in order to reach their greatest potential.
As a trust, we are steadfastly devoted to enhancing outcomes for all kids and helping underperforming schools turn into inspiring and secure learning environments.
In order to achieve this, we invest in and nurture outstanding teachers, leaders, and support staff. We also forge close ties with local parents and communities, offer stimulating learning environments, and set high standards for all of the trust's schools and students.
We facilitate lifelong learning by fostering high standards, encouraging inquiring minds, and respecting ourselves and others in our school community and beyond through supporting each child's religious journey, which is based on Christian values.
