Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Phonics is taught well overall and there was some outstanding teaching seen in phonics sessions. This gives a good boost to pupils’ confidence in reading and writing.
Success of the Curriculum: The school provides an engaging curriculum which enables pupils to achieve well in a range of subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: Resources and provision for outdoor learning in the Nursery classes are not of the same good quality as in the Reception classes.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils reach average standards in English and above average in mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Teaching assistants provide good support for class teachers and are a significant force in the teaching team.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils feel safe. They behave well and attitudes to learning are good.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs make good progress. Teaching provision, as well as the physical and pastoral care they need, is very carefully planned so that all needs are properly met.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils understand the different forms that bullying can take, including name-calling, and are adamant that there is none in school.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Statutory responsibilities are fulfilled effectively. Safeguarding requirements are fully met and reviewed regularly to ensure the continued well-being of pupils and staff.
Parent Feedback: Parents share the view that students feel safe and are cared for well.
Parental Involvement: Meetings were held with pupils, parents, members of staff and members of the governing body.
Extracurricular Activities: The school provides a good selection of sports and other activities to help pupils nurture their various skills and interests.
Outdoor Facilities: Children’s all-round development in the Nursery classes is hindered by a lack of stimulating resources outdoors.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers encourage pupils to be independent and to assess their own progress.
Impact on Student Progress: Pupils’ good learning is underpinned by the positive climate for learning that teachers create in their classrooms.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Not all lessons are conducted at a fast enough pace, and occasionally pupils’ work-rate is not as good as it should be because too little is expected of them.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Day-to-day assessment through marking is not consistent.
