Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children begin to learn to read the moment they start in Reception. Leaders are doing everything they can to raise attainment in phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum for pupils’ personal development. However, it is not preparing pupils for life in modern Britain as well as leaders intend.
Areas Needing Improvement: Some aspects of the early years curriculum are not planned well enough. It is not always clear what children are expected to learn by doing some of the activities that are set up.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers usually explain things clearly. They demonstrate how things should be done, so that pupils can be successful.
Support for Falling Behind: If anyone needs extra help, they are given it straightaway. The books pupils take home contain the letter sounds that they know so they can become confident, fluent readers.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Lessons can be interrupted by calling out and silliness in some classes. Staff do not deal with this type of behaviour consistently well.
Support for SEND Pupils: Teachers do not always adapt their lessons well enough to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. Individual support could be more precise.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: High-quality mental health support is provided for anyone who needs it. Leaders provide regular training and updates on safeguarding.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils know what bullying is and how to report it. They told inspectors that bullying does not happen often.
Parent Feedback: Many parents and carers are happy with the school and they appreciate the hard work of the staff.
Parental Involvement: Leaders respond quickly when attendance is below where it needs to be. Leaders are focused on reducing the rate of persistent absence for disadvantaged pupils.
Teacher Engagement: Staff recognise the hard work of the acting headteacher and acting deputy headteacher in recent months. They appreciate the time that has been given for them to carry out their subject leadership responsibilities.
Impact on Student Progress: In several subjects, the sequence of learning is not precise. In these subjects, leaders have not identified what pupils need to know and when.
Teaching Staff Challenges: There have been several staffing changes. Some staff do not deal with incidents of low-level disruption effectively.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Subject leaders must check how effectively their curriculum is being delivered, checking that pupils know and remember what they should.
