Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Ensuring that pupils are taught to write neatly with correct grammar, punctuation and spelling was also an area to improve from the previous inspection.
Success of the Curriculum: You have developed a broad and rich curriculum. Pupils benefit from numerous opportunities to learn within the impressive local landscape.
Areas Needing Improvement: The outdoor provision for children in the early years, although improved, still has shortcomings. Leaders have plans in place to address these.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Work in current pupils’ books and evidence seen in lessons indicate that improvements have been made in English and mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders ensure that these pupils successfully integrate into the school community and settle quickly, making rapid and sustained progress.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well. They said they were ‘really happy’ and enjoyed coming to school.
Support for SEND Pupils: Many are pupils with SEND. Leaders ensure that these pupils successfully integrate into the school community and settle quickly. Consequently, they make rapid and sustained progress.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: They said that bullying was extremely rare and that any ‘falling out’ was quickly resolved by school staff. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe inside school and outside in the community.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: There is a palpable school ethos of care, support and guidance. Procedures for reporting any concerns are well understood and action is taken in a timely manner.
Parent Feedback: All parents and carers that responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, said that they would recommend the school to others.
Parental Involvement: Parents and grandparents valued the ‘family feel’ of the school and appreciated the ‘tremendous care, guidance and support’.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils routinely take part in outdoor pursuits, including climbing, walking and canoeing. Music is a particularly strong feature of pupils’ learning.
Outdoor Facilities: Although improved, the outdoor provision for children in the early years still has shortcomings. Leaders have plans to address these.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers question the pupils thoughtfully to involve them in discussion and to check their understanding. Teachers are creative in the ways they engage and enthuse the pupils.
Impact on Student Progress: Many pupils make strong progress, including pupils with SEND. However, some inconsistencies remain in the provision of regular opportunities for the most able pupils.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Creative partnerships with a local cluster of small schools have built a broader approach to quality assurance and staff training.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some inconsistencies remain in the regular opportunities for the most able pupils to apply their learning, deepen their understanding and have their thinking challenged.
