Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Pupils in all classes make good progress in phonics, spelling and reading because they are taught well.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders provide an engaging curriculum to enable pupils to experience the full breadth of the national curriculum where this is appropriate for pupils.
Areas Needing Improvement: Improve the progress that pupils make in writing by making sure that teachers and teaching assistants tackle errors made in letter and number formation.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Reading is a strength. The majority of pupils across all classes make good progress from their low starting points in phonics, spelling and reading.
Support for Falling Behind: Additional help is provided for pupils at the first sign of their progress slowing, or existing support is modified to better meet pupils’ needs.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour in lessons is good and pupils show respect towards one another. Most pupils listen carefully to each other and wait patiently for their turn to speak and to take part.
Support for SEND Pupils: The needs of children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are extremely well met, because activities planned for them exactly match their stage in development.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say that there is some bullying in school, but inspectors found no evidence of this. Staff intervene quickly to help pupils to manage their behaviour and to stay safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders’ commitment to tackling inequality is acknowledged through external accreditation as a ‘school for sanctuary’.
Parent Feedback: The majority of parents who spoke to inspectors had nothing but praise for the school and the support provided for their children. A very small number of parents expressed concerns about the information given to them on their children’s progress.
Parental Involvement: Families are closely involved in planning support and setting targets for their children.
Extracurricular Activities: This included free-running, ultimate Frisbee, Zumba and an inflatable assault course, with sports coaches delivering these sessions for pupils.
Outdoor Facilities: Outdoor play equipment is long overdue for replacement and the outside space adjoining the early years classroom is ‘shabby’ and dirty.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers and teaching assistants work well together as a team. They strive to learn about their pupils’ needs and interests and the best way to help them.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Teachers’ assessments of pupils’ work are accurate because regular internal moderation takes place where teachers discuss pupils’ work and share their marking.
Impact on Student Progress: Pupils often start at the school part-way through the school year. Literacy and numeracy development are given a higher priority than other areas.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some variability exists in the quality of support provided by teaching assistants as this is not always up to the same high standard.
