Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to read with confidence. Children in the early years learn phonics from the start and a love of reading is promoted throughout the school.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have worked hard to review and improve the curriculum. They have thought carefully about what pupils should learn and when, in each subject.
Areas Needing Improvement: The new approach to teaching mathematics is not being taught consistently well in a small number of classes.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Extra support is provided for those pupils who are at risk of falling behind.
Support for Falling Behind: There are clear systems in place for identifying pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils respond well to high expectations of behaviour. Bullying does not happen very often and when it does, adults deal with it.
Support for SEND Pupils: Teachers adapt activities so that pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as their peers. Effective support is provided for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Adults help with any disagreements pupils have with friends and deal with bullying if it occurs.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders ensure staff receive regular training and updates to identify pupils at risk. Pupils learn about safety in various situations including road and water safety.
Parent Feedback: Many parents praise the work of the school and say that their child is happy, safe, and achieving well.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy wide opportunities including clubs, musical performances, and sports competitions.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers use strong subject knowledge to explain new learning clearly, which helps pupils build on what they know.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Some subject leaders are new and have less experience in checking how well the curriculum is being taught across the school.
