Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Teachers have established systems to assess what pupils know in mathematics and early reading.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have planned an appropriate curriculum, but early years planning lacks clear connection.
Areas Needing Improvement: Foundation subjects are not as well balanced, some activity choices are not clearly linked to intended learning.
Support for Falling Behind: Targeted sessions support particular needs in early reading, adaptable teaching in maths resolves misunderstandings quickly.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils are keen to meet increased expectations, behave well, and bullying happens very rarely.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Current pupils are making better progress in some areas, but not consistently across the school.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders make timely referrals for external support, but classroom support is varied and not all pupils learn as effectively.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying happens rarely and staff deal with it swiftly. Effective safeguarding culture and training.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff know their pupils well and liaise with external agencies as needed. Pupils learn to keep themselves safe, including online.
