Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders introduced a new approach to teaching reading last year but not all current staff are confident to deliver this properly.
Success of the Curriculum: The school’s curriculum is incomplete and does not ensure that pupils can secure the knowledge that they need in every subject.
Areas Needing Improvement: Learning is often too challenging for pupils, particularly those who already find reading difficult.
Foundational Skills: Inconsistent teaching affects key reading and mathematics progress.
Success of the Curriculum: New curriculum delivered; yet, learning is disjointed over time.
Areas Needing Improvement: Need for systematic assessment to address knowledge gaps.
Support for Falling Behind: Strengthened support for behaviour, impacting positively.
Behaviour and Attitudes: New policy reduces disruptions, improving engagement.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Many pupils produce work of poor quality, and they are not helped to make improvements.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers do not use assessment processes to plan future teaching or to ensure that pupils know more and can remember more.

Performance in Maths & Reading: Secure teacher knowledge but inconsistent student progress.
Support for SEND Pupils: Plans to support pupils are weak and the provision for SEND does not meet pupils’ individual needs.
Support for SEND Pupils: Improved strategies, but inconsistency in curriculum access remains.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils understand what bullying is. They are adamant that teachers would sort out any concerns quickly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders give safeguarding a high priority and have recently revisited their approach to ensure that all staff know what to look out for and how to record it.
Parent Feedback: Parents appreciate the way in which the school welcomes everyone.
Parental Involvement: Parents and carers have not been properly involved in identifying pupils’ needs.
Outdoor Facilities: They enjoy their visits to the woodland and were excited to share their adventures at Marwell Zoo.
Extracurricular Activities: Children enjoy caring for the school rabbit and learning about different countries.
Teacher Engagement: Trust and school leaders have an overly positive view of the quality of education at the school.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers’ subject knowledge is variable and teaching lacks consistency.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Staff knowledge of the early years curriculum and how children learn is weak.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders have started to introduce assessment processes across the school so that teachers can identify what pupils know and can do.
