Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Leaders have made reading a priority. Staff teach early reading with precision. Effective training ensures staff have expertise when teaching phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils do not learn as much or as consistently as they should. Leaders are determined to get it back on track and have the capacity to do so.
Areas Needing Improvement: Planning of the curriculum and training in its delivery are not precise enough. Assessment across several subjects is not yet consistently in place.
Support for Falling Behind: Where pupils struggle to manage their behaviour, leaders identify needs and devise appropriate strategies. This starts successfully in early years.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well, understand school’s rules, follow them and value the rewards systems. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles like playtime buddies or sports reps.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Inspectors carried out deep dives in reading and mathematics to discuss curriculum planning and reviewed pupils' work.
Support for SEND Pupils: Capable leadership of SEND provision ensures effective support. The inclusion manager carefully identifies their needs and tracks progress well.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Staff resolve any worries pupils have about bullying effectively. Pupils know how to respond if they feel uncomfortable and trust staff to keep them safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: High-quality pastoral support emphasizes mental health, helping pupils understand themselves better. Leaders improve the personal, social and health education curriculum.
Parent Feedback: Parents’ responses to the Ofsted Parent View questionnaire and written comments were taken into account.
Parental Involvement: Inspectors talked with parents during the inspection to gather their views about the school’s engagement with the community.
Extracurricular Activities: Learning is enriched by a wide range of engaging activities and experiences. Pupils appreciate and take part in a growing range of sporting and cultural activities on offer.
Teacher Engagement: Staff have expertise when teaching foundational skills like phonics due to effective training. However, inconsistency in planning curriculum affects overall teaching quality.
Impact on Student Progress: Assessment is often not used well enough by teachers to check pupils’ understanding and inform what needs to be taught next.
Teaching Staff Challenges: High-quality training is needed to better support teachers in implementing curriculum plans effectively.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Governors need to hold leaders accountable for the quality of education, as there has been inconsistent oversight.
