Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children get off to a good start in the Reception classes because they offer a stimulating environment that ensures that children enjoy their learning.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum has improved substantially and now encourages the development of creativity and provides pupils with more opportunities to learn about different faiths and cultures.
Areas Needing Improvement: Occasionally there are insufficient opportunities for older pupils to write at length in English lessons, and too much use of worksheets in mathematics lessons.
Support for Falling Behind: The school has already started to improve the way that assessment is used in lessons to promote learning and this is rapidly accelerating pupils' progress, particularly in Key Stage 2.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils of all ages are keen to work hard and do their best. They enjoy their learning, work effectively as teams both in and out of lessons and get on well together.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils continue to make good progress through Key Stage 1 and in reading in Key Stage 2. However, until recently, their progress in writing and mathematics has been satisfactory but inconsistent.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress because they receive carefully tailored support.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: The school provides a very welcoming and cheerful environment where pupils feel confident and safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Well-targeted support is offered to pupils whose circumstances make them potentially vulnerable, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers frequently comment about the 'supportive and approachable staff'.
Parental Involvement: Transition arrangements are good. They ensure that pupils move smoothly through the school and look forward to the next stage of their education.
Extracurricular Activities: The school provides extensive extra-curricular opportunities and ensures that they are carefully tailored to the needs and interests of all pupils.
Teacher Engagement: Teaching is usually good and most lessons are well organised and promote good learning.
Impact on Student Progress: The use of assessment is improving and many teachers plan work that matches the needs of the pupils.
Teaching Staff Challenges: The quality of teaching has been more inconsistent in Key Stage 2 and this has resulted in uneven patterns of progress.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Some good marking provides pupils with clear guidance about how to improve their work but this is not consistent.
