Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Academic Progress: Staff regularly spend time encouraging pupils to engage with their learning. This has limited success, as some staff make it too easy for pupils to opt out of learning.
Behaviour and Attitudes: There are inconsistencies in how staff respond to pupils who refuse to attend lessons. Significant numbers of pupils refuse to attend lessons and spend most of their time in corridors or in the school grounds.
Current Educational Practices: Leaders have introduced a mastery approach to the mathematics curriculum, without ensuring teachers have a secure knowledge of this method of teaching.
Strengths and Challenges: This lack of careful consideration across subjects has led to the quality of education pupils receive being inconsistent.
Parent Satisfaction: Pupils say that they are safe at this school. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive.
Communication: Independent careers advice and guidance are provided. They also visit further education colleges.
Handling Conflicts and Concerns: Leaders and teachers do not provide enough encouragement to those pupils who can read confidently to read more widely.
Actions for Quality Improvement: The proprietor has recruited experienced leaders; the new leaders’ improvement plans are in their very early stages.
Managing Bullying and Safety: Staff help pupils to manage their emotions. They are effective at recognizing when pupils are becoming distressed.
Promoting Welfare and Safety: Pupils are taught about how to stay safe in their community, including when online.
Extracurricular Offerings: There are too few activities that nurture pupils’ talents and interests.
Career Counselling Services: Older pupils receive independent careers advice and guidance.
Managing and Supporting SEND: Some pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities. These pupils have an education, health and care plan (EHC plan) that states their primary area of need is either social, emotional and mental health or cognition and learning.
