Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The school has rightly prioritised the teaching of phonics and early reading.
Success of the Curriculum: The new, revised curriculum is at an early stage and its impact is yet to be seen.
Areas Needing Improvement: Phonics teaching is not aligned to what some pupils know. The school's curriculum has inconsistencies.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Low Year 4 outcomes in the multiplication tables check prompted a new arithmetic plan.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who are not keeping up with the phonics program have the same offer as those on track, not helping them catch up quickly.
Behaviour and Attitudes: In some lessons, pupils do not display behaviours conducive for effective learning, and staff do not intervene swiftly enough to address disengagement.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities have access to resource packs and adapted tasks.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Effective safeguarding arrangements are in place.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school fosters pupils’ character and supports healthy relationships and conflict resolution.
Parent Feedback: Some parents feel the school has not clearly communicated necessary changes.
Parental Involvement: The school recognizes the need to strengthen relationships with families.
Extracurricular Activities: The school provides pupils with many opportunities for educational visits that enhance the revised curriculum.
Teacher Engagement: Some adults do not intervene swiftly enough to address pupil disengagement.
Impact on Student Progress: The progress outcomes for key stage 2 in 2023 do not reflect the quality of the revised curriculum.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some interactions do not support children to acquire new vocabulary.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The school checks pupils’ work during the lesson, but the quality of work produced is variable.

From the Heaton Avenue, A Share Primary Academy
Being the Executive Head Teacher of such a joyful, energetic, and dynamic school makes me feel incredibly proud and fortunate. We constantly work to make sure the kids are challenged so they may get the finest education possible. Our school has high standards, and the students honour us by consistently delivering their best effort. We appreciate our connections with others and see Heaton Avenue Primary School as a vital component of the neighbourhood. We must establish effective and positive interactions with our kids and their families. We can thereby create a welcoming, secure, and encouraging environment for everyone to enjoy. Our crew is dedicated, caring, and works diligently to bring out the best in our kids. We are all committed to helping kids acquire the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to be prepared for the future. We are part of the SHARE Multi Academy Trust (with Shelley College, Thornhill Academy, Royds Hall School (Beech Primary and Luck Lane Primary), Millbridge Junior and Infant School and Cowlersley Primary School). I am in charge of both Heaton Avenue and Millbridge as executive headteacher.
