Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The newly introduced phonics programme is bringing about greater consistency in how pupils are taught to read.
Success of the Curriculum: The school’s curriculum is well thought out and aspirational.
Areas Needing Improvement: The connection between early years content and what is then taught in key stage 1 needs sharpening.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Leaders used the phonics programme’s assessments to ensure that pupils started at the right point.
Support for Falling Behind: For pupils who need extra practice, one-to-one sessions are working well.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Most staff continually reinforce rules and routines; however, some adults do not refocus quickly enough a child who might be distracted.
Support for SEND Pupils: Communication between the school and families to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is excellent.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils affirm that bullying has no place here, and know that adults would sort out any issues right away.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: An exceptional culture exists where adults care and look out for every child.
Parent Feedback: Parents praise necessary changes for the better.
Parental Involvement: Leaders involve parents from the start. It is a partnership.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils are immersed in opera, chess and charity work.
Outdoor Facilities: ‘Forest Fridays’ and the school’s allotment, campfire, and mini-beasts exploration are universally popular.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers devote daily time for pupils to read independently.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers sometimes set lesson activities that do not secure pupils’ knowledge well enough.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Teachers are not always clear about the best ways to implement subject content successfully.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The school’s current approach to assessment is not precise enough.
