Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: The curriculum is a significant strength. English and mathematics core skills are utilized well in other subjects. However, comprehension skills in reading need improvement.
Success of the Curriculum: Activities stimulate pupils’ enjoyment of learning exceptionally well, contributing significantly to their good academic performance.
Areas Needing Improvement: Pupils’ skills of comprehension in reading, especially in key stage 1, need further development.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Standards in reading, writing, and mathematics by the age of 11 are on track to be above the national average in 2017.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ positive attitudes to learning contribute strongly to their improving academic performance. Behaviour has improved and is outstanding.
Support for Falling Behind: High-quality teaching and intervention work have helped previous underachievers catch up, but lower-attaining pupils in key stage 1 still need more support.
Support for SEND Pupils: A blend of academic, emotional, social, and pastoral support effectively meets the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Incidents of bullying are rare, and pupils are confident that issues will be addressed promptly. Behaviour logs show a dramatic reduction in recorded incidents.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Systems for safeguarding are robustly monitored, ensuring high-quality safeguarding practices. Strong emphasis is placed on e-safety and general pupil safety.
Parent Feedback: Parents, staff, and pupils are very positive about the school and greatly appreciate the improvements made since the arrival of the current headteacher.
Parental Involvement: Parents and staff are impressed by pupils’ gains in confidence, aptitude, and skills developed through a range of activities available.
Extracurricular Activities: The school balances a wide array of sporting or musical activities with academic experiences such as computing, contributing to pupils' overall development.
Teacher Engagement: Senior and middle leaders use their expert subject knowledge to carefully check on teaching and pupils’ progress which has improved the quality of teaching.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers’ high expectations and subject knowledge support pupils’ learning very well, resulting in typically good teaching over time, with some outstanding features.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Scrutiny of pupils’ work is integral, with teachers well-versed in evaluating students' understanding and using this information effectively for future planning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Lower-ability pupils in key stage 1 are not catching up to reach expected standards; activities need to stretch and challenge the most able pupils more.

We sincerely hope you enjoy perusing the pages that follow and learning a little bit more about life at our school. St. Stephens is a Community Primary School that does a good job of representing the neighbourhood. Our commitment to offering an excellent education that is interesting and creative is contagious. Excellence is in Everyone, which is our motto, we feel, sums up everything we believe. As a school, we are aware of the diversity among us and the talents that each child possesses. Every child, in our opinion, is an individual who deserves the greatest education possible in order to attain perfection. Since education is best when it is part of an efficient partnership between parents and school personnel, we are constantly working to enhance what we provide for your children and encourage parental thoughts and ideas. The school encourages students to be highly active, and the lovely grounds allow us to incorporate teaching outside into how we offer the curriculum. In addition to employing technology extensively to help children become successful in a technological world that is always evolving, we also commemorate our heritage. With the help of a thematic approach, we can make sure that students meet ever-higher academic standards. All sessions contain recurring themes that enable students to engage in deep learning activities while simultaneously achieving a variety of curriculum goals. This gives us time so that the creative subjects, which are essential to how we ensure that every student is enthusiastic and engaged, are not squeezed out of our agenda. We really feel there is no better place for your child to attend primary school, and we hope the website provides you with a sense of who we are. Nothing beats experiencing something for yourself, so get in touch with us at the school if you want to visit and take a look around.
