Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Since September 2018, a new approach to the teaching of phonics has been implemented. This is highly structured and consistently taught.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils study a broad range of subjects and current pupils' outcomes are improving. However, the curriculum limits deep understanding in subjects beyond English and maths.
Areas Needing Improvement: Curriculum plans to ensure progression and application of knowledge and skills in subjects beyond English and maths.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Increasing proportions of pupils are attaining expected and higher standards in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders identify barriers to learning and adjust teaching approaches and curriculum to support pupils' needs effectively.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ behaviour is good. They conduct themselves well in lessons, are orderly around the school, and demonstrate positive attitudes.
Support for SEND Pupils: The knowledgeable SENCo ensures that staff have skill and confidence to meet the needs of pupils with differing and complex SEND. There are strong working relationships with external agencies.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: There is a strong culture of safeguarding within the school. Staff are vigilant and any concerns are reported quickly. Pupils are confident that concerns would be dealt with effectively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils’ understanding of staying safe is good, particularly internet safety. Programmes promote personal development successfully, ensuring awareness of mental and physical health.
Parental Involvement: Leaders have engaged stakeholders in developing an exciting and ambitious curriculum plan due for implementation in September 2019.
Parent Feedback: A small minority of parents felt bullying was not dealt with effectively, but this is not corroborated by logs or pupil feedback.
Extracurricular Activities: Additional funding has increased access to a wider range of after-school clubs and competitions, promoting physical health and well-being.
Outdoor Facilities: The shared early years outdoor provision is now enticing, with planned opportunities to investigate and explore.
Teacher Engagement: Staff value the principal’s leadership and share her ambition for the future. Training and professional development are regular, improving skills continuously.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers focus on developing pupils’ skills and understanding effectively, leading to improving pupil outcomes.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders monitor effectiveness regularly and take steps to ensure practice meets their standards.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Occasionally, some of the most able pupils work through easier examples before moving on to more demanding tasks.
