Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Phonics teaching starts early; strong approach but Year 2 pupils need more support to become fluent readers
Success of the Curriculum: Some inconsistencies in wider English curriculum; strengths in reading and mathematics curriculums improved but needs further enhancement
Areas Needing Improvement: More focus needed on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and handwriting in key stages 1 and 2
Behaviour and Attitudes: Good behaviour and attitudes, pupils respectful and caring to each other, bullying is rare
Performance in Maths & Reading: Reading and mathematics curriculums have been strengthened, with effective phonics teaching in early years

Support for SEND Pupils: Needs improvement in curriculum adaptation; identification of needs better but inconsistent support
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is rare and not tolerated; pupils feel safe and supported by staff
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils develop good personal skills and moral compass; safeguarding records need better documentation
Parent Feedback: Significant minority of parents concerned about leaders’ engagement and communication
Parental Involvement: Opportunities for professional development valued by staff; positive feedback from many parents yet concerns remain
Extracurricular Activities: Wide range of trips and extra activities appreciated by pupils
Teacher Engagement: Staff forge positive relationships and engage pupils well in lessons
Impact on Student Progress: Although regular assessments are in place, not all staff identify and address errors effectively
Teaching Staff Challenges: Inconsistent identification and addressing of pupils' errors and misconceptions
