Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children learn to read as soon as they begin Reception. Books match the sounds they know, and staff support children who fall behind to catch up quickly.
Success of the Curriculum: The 'Million Dreams' curriculum is relevant, ambitious, and builds from Nursery onwards. Pupils build knowledge over time and make progress.
Areas Needing Improvement: In a few subjects, the school has not outlined precisely what it is that pupils need to know. Pupils do not build on their previous learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Inspectors carried out deep dives in early reading and mathematics, observing that pupils revisit learning regularly and apply what they know.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff identify quickly when pupils have special educational needs and make necessary adaptations. Pupils gain the knowledge and skills they need to become fluent readers.
Behaviour and Attitudes: The school environment is calm and focused. Pupils are polite, engaging, and have a mature understanding of treating everyone fairly.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff identify quickly when pupils have SEND and make necessary adaptations. The school works with external agencies to provide additional support.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils have trusted adults who help them with any worries. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school has a culture based on nurture and inclusion, providing opportunities for pupils to develop confidence and independence through positions of responsibility.
Parent Feedback: Parents can use Ofsted Parent View to give their opinion on the school or find out what other parents and carers think.

Extracurricular Activities: Pupils participate in enrichment activities such as careers fairs and peer mentoring, helping them develop confidence and independence.
Teacher Engagement: Staff appreciate the consideration given to their workload and well-being. The school's high aspirations translate to equality of opportunity for all pupils.
Impact on Student Progress: Pupils build knowledge over time and make progress through the curriculum, supported by staff who ensure a clear understanding of subject-specific vocabulary.
