Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Pupils get off to a strong start in early reading and phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have designed a curriculum which is progressive and sequenced.
Areas Needing Improvement: Curriculum lacks precision and detail to ensure a strong transition between stages.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Learning to read is a priority. Pupils learn to read quickly.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders accurately identify pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND); however, they are not always providing the specific support that they need.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils鈥� attitudes to learning are typically positive. However, behaviour can decline when learning is not well sequenced.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders accurately identify pupils with SEND but targets set are too general and lack precision.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Leaders prioritise pupil safety and deal with bullying effectively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: A positive culture of safeguarding is maintained through regular training and effective coordination with outside agencies.
Parental Involvement: Staff work with parents to know their children well and provide reassurance on issues like bullying.
Parent Feedback: Parents say their children enjoy coming to school, but some concerns remain about bullying.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils benefit greatly from clubs such as Worship Leaders, School Council, and Young Voices.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers make reading fun and bring books to life, motivating pupils to read.
Impact on Student Progress: When learning is well-sequenced and delivered, pupil achievement improves.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Staff do not have a firm grasp of how the curriculum content is sequenced in all subjects from the EYFS to Year 6.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Senior leaders should ensure that subject leaders develop the necessary skills to have a secure overview of the curriculum's impact.
