Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Pupils attain very well in reading, writing, mathematics and in the phonics screening check. Current pupils are making very strong progress in English and mathematics in both key stages 1 and 2.
Success of the Curriculum: Senior staff and middle leaders have brought about sustained, strong improvement in attainment in reading, writing and mathematics.
Areas Needing Improvement: Curriculum planning, in a wider range of subjects, is less precise than in English and mathematics. As a result, pupils’ progress, although good, is not as strong as in English and mathematics.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils' attainment is very high. They attain very well in reading, writing and mathematics at key stages 1 and 2.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff use careful assessment of needs to enhance children’s experiences and learning in a safe environment.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils' behaviour is impeccable during lessons and around the school. They demonstrate very positive attitudes to learning.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders keep a close eye on the attendance of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to make sure that avoidable absence is minimised.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils are kept safe, and say they feel safe, in school. They know they will always get help from a trusted adult if they are worried or have a concern.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The excellent PSHE and religious education programmes enable pupils to grow in confidence as learners and individuals. Pupils are committed to their learning, keen to improve and develop their skills and knowledge.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers are actively involved in their child’s development and learning. This two-way communication has a very positive impact on children’s progress.
Parental Involvement: From the point of initial assessment onwards, parents and carers are actively involved in their child’s development and learning.
Extracurricular Activities: Together with a wide range of clubs and after-school activities and visits, the curriculum provides a wide range of learning experiences.
Outdoor Facilities: The site is safe and unencumbered so that children can move around safely.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers establish very strong relationships and high expectations of conduct in lessons and around the school. Pupils respond with enthusiasm.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers plan lessons that engage and interest pupils. This contributes effectively to the strong progress they make.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is first rate. Staff use their deep knowledge of children to plan activities that help children progress very quickly.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Occasionally teachers miss opportunities to check quickly enough that all pupils have responded fully to the tasks they set.
