Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Academic Progress: Pupils who attended the primary phase achieve more highly in external assessments. However, many pupils struggle due to poor attendance and inconsistent teaching.
Behaviour and Attitudes: High expectations are understood but not maintained by all pupils, particularly in the secondary phase.
Support for Pupils Falling Behind: Gaps in learning due to absences are not addressed quickly enough, leading to struggles in accessing new learning.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers explain new concepts and ideas clearly, providing opportunities for pupils to recall prior learning.
Impact of Teaching on Student Progress: Inconsistent use of early reading programs and strategies limits progress, especially for pupils struggling to read.
Strengths or Challenges with Teaching Staff: Detailed plans for SEND support are not consistently used in classrooms, impacting effectiveness.
Opportunities for Parent Involvement: Opportunities exist for parents to get involved, but there are concerns about behaviour, particularly in the secondary phase.
Communication with Parents: The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour which are clearly communicated to parents.
Parent Satisfaction: A significant minority of pupils and staff have concerns about behaviour, affecting overall satisfaction.
Handling Conflicts and Concerns: The school has reviewed attendance processes and increased home visits to address pupil absence.
Actions to Enhance Education Quality: Leaders need to ensure teachers check pupils’ prior knowledge and adjust teaching to fill gaps.
Promoting Pupils' Welfare and Safety: Effective safeguarding arrangements are in place, ensuring pupil safety.
Managing Bullying and Ensuring Safety: The school manages behaviour concerns, but issues with sexism and homophobia still exist among a small minority of students.
Behaviour and Attitudes of Pupils: Persistent disruptive behaviour leads to high suspension rates, with limited effectiveness of current support strategies.
Extracurricular Activities & Clubs: The school offers well-planned personal, social, health, and careers education (PSHCE) programmes.
Balancing Academics with Extracurriculars: Insufficient time is given to open discussion and debate in PSHCE, affecting pupil engagement.
Career Counselling Services: The school meets requirements to provide pupils with information on approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.
Preparation for Next Key Stage: Secondary pupils receive limited time for open discussions in PSHCE, impacting their readiness for future stages.

Doing what is right, taking charge, and taking ownership of one's own actions are all examples of responsibility. Mastery is the command of information or abilities in a specific field or activity.
