Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have planned curriculums that are ambitious in all subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: Teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to recall knowledge that they have learned before.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils say they enjoy mathematics lessons. Teachers explain new concepts clearly. Pupils get opportunities to practise and become fluent.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers regularly check to make sure pupils read books that help them practise the sounds they know.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Most pupils show positive attitudes to learning. They enjoy lessons and appreciate the rewards they can earn for their behaviour and achievements.
Support for SEND Pupils: Teachers know the needs of pupils with SEND. They help these pupils to take part in all lesson activities.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it does happen, teachers deal with it very well.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: There is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school. The headteacher has prioritised safeguarding training for all staff.
Parental Involvement: Parents of pupils with SEND appreciate the support their children get.
Parent Feedback: A minority of parents feel that leaders have not communicated the reason for these changes clearly to them.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy lots of enrichment opportunities across the curriculum. They all have the chance to take part in sporting activities.
Outdoor Facilities: The outside area at the school is spacious and well designed. All pupils make use of the forest school on the site.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Teachers regularly check that pupils understand important vocabulary. This helps pupils to learn new ideas.
Teacher Engagement: Some members of staff say that this has added to their workload. Governors and leaders are aware of this. They are beginning to find ways to support all staff to manage their workload.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers help pupils build new knowledge. In other lessons, work does not match pupils’ needs and pupils do not learn as well as they should.
Teaching Staff Challenges: In some lessons, teachers do not have high enough expectations for pupils’ behaviour. They do not always challenge pupils that call out or talk out of turn.
