Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: The teaching of reading in early years is well structured, but key stages 1 and 2 lack sufficient support for less confident readers.

Success of the Curriculum: Current pupils do not progress consistently well due to ineffective curriculum delivery.

Areas Needing Improvement: Teachers need to provide more opportunities to revisit essential prior knowledge and use assessment strategies effectively.

Performance in Maths & Reading: Some pupils do not achieve as well as they should in several subjects.

Support for Falling Behind: Less confident readers do not receive the support needed to catch up quickly with their peers.

Behaviour and Attitudes: Most pupils conduct themselves appropriately, but a small minority hinders learning with poor behaviour.

Support for SEND Pupils: Effective systems identify additional needs quickly, but curriculum weaknesses hinder some pupils' learning.

Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils trust that adults will look after them and keep them safe.

Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Focus on independence and resilience, accepting diverse beliefs and backgrounds.

Parent Feedback: Parents are engaged with supportive workshops and outdoor learning activities.

Extracurricular Activities: School offers a varied range of opportunities beyond the academic curriculum, such as after-school clubs and residential trips.

Teacher Engagement: Staff feel well supported by leaders, appreciative of workload consideration and are proud to work at the school.

Impact on Student Progress: Some gaps in pupil knowledge remain unaddressed due to inconsistent curriculum delivery and assessment strategies.

Teaching Staff Challenges: Inconsistent application of the behaviour policy impacts learning.

Assessment of Teaching Quality: Need for better-equipped staff to use assessment strategies to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
