Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders are determined that every child will become a fluent reader. Phonics lessons are clear and precise.
Success of the Curriculum: In most subjects, curriculum plans set out the key knowledge and vocabulary pupils should know across the year.
Areas Needing Improvement: In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not present the small steps of knowledge precisely enough to pupils.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils who are at risk of falling behind the expectations of the phonics programme are identified quickly. They catch up well.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who fall behind have more-frequent reading sessions.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ behaviour in class is good. They are calm and kind to each other.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with SEND are supported well and included in the life of the school. Some benefit from provision in Moonstone and Ruby classes.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is not tolerated in school. Pupils understand what bullying means and who to speak to if they have a concern.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff know how to identify pupils at risk of harm. Policies and procedures are in place to protect pupils and staff from bullying, sexual harassment, and racism.
Parent Feedback: Parents praise the support provided by the pastoral team.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy a wide range of clubs and activities like chess, archery, and yoga.
Teacher Engagement: Staff feel supported by leaders within school and across the trust, which develops their subject expertise and confidence.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers check pupils’ understanding carefully and give feedback on what they have done well and could do better.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Plans are well sequenced so that pupils learn and remember more from early years to Year 6.

Our school is a joyful, tranquil, and interesting place to learn, and I am confident that the kids will keep up making us proud with their responsible, upbeat attitudes.
This school is outstanding, according to our most recent Ofsted report (May 2016), and children there make rapid development.
We set high standards for both the children and ourselves in terms of conduct, academic achievement, and creative development, and we strive to provide the students with a high-quality, innovative, and creative learning environment, delivered through first-rate instruction and cutting-edge technology.
All students and staff members at the school are held to high standards of performance and conduct.
Children are urged to accept accountability for their actions and to be aware of their options.
We think that the secret to success for the kids, and consequently for the school and the larger community it serves, is a close working relationship with parents.
For you and your kid, this booklet serves as an introduction to our school.
Although it has all the information you require about our school, we still hope you will come and visit us before enrolling your child so you can observe how things operate in person.
