Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Teaching of basic literacy and numeracy skills is a high and successful priority in the school.
Success of the Curriculum: The school’s good curriculum has particular strengths in its provision for pupils whose circumstances may make them vulnerable.
Areas Needing Improvement: In Reception, opportunities are missed for children to further their knowledge and understanding of the world and creative development through learning outside.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Year 6 pupils have a very good understanding of spelling conventions and are avid readers, keen to discuss their preference for different authors’ styles.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who find learning difficult have good support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ outstanding behaviour contributes significantly to them attaining significantly above average standards by the end of Year 6.
Support for SEND Pupils: Across the school, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are quickly identified and appropriate support provided to help them make good progress too.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils have confidence in the school’s procedures for keeping them safe and say they feel safe at school.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The decision to adapt the curriculum to include ‘life skills’ for a small group of pupils whose circumstances may make them vulnerable has had an excellent impact on their self-esteem, independence, and enjoyment of learning.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers agree that their children are well taught and many commented on the high quality of care and support for their children within classes.
Parental Involvement: The governing body provides excellent links to the local community which have a good impact on pupils’ understanding of citizenship.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers set high expectations for behaviour and application to tasks which pupils try very hard to meet.
Impact on Student Progress: Teaching is good with outstanding teaching in Years 2 and 6. There are occasional instances when teaching is satisfactory and lacks pace.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Teaching and learning are monitored regularly and rigorously and teachers helped to improve their practice.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Where teaching was satisfactory the pace was slow because pupils spent too long sitting on the carpet and consequently did not have enough time to work.
