Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders ensure that learning to read is a priority for all pupils. Teachers have strong subject knowledge.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils’ learning is well sequenced, so that they know more, remember more and can do more over time.
Areas Needing Improvement: Sometimes, teaching within the early years provision is not always well thought through.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils develop fluency in their mathematical recall. Older pupils use a range of reading strategies.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers use their expertise to ensure that pupils learn to segment words and blend sounds securely.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Leaders’ recent work to review the behaviour system means staff respond to incidents with consistency.
Support for SEND Pupils: For some pupils with SEND, the intended learning is not precisely matched to their starting points.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils are confident that adults deal with incidents of meanness swiftly and effectively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders ensure that safeguarding is at the heart of what they do.

School Charter for Us To view our school's charter, click here. We are a school that respects human rights.
We are collaborating with UNICEF to learn more about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and children's rights.
The children have loved working together to create charters of Rights and corresponding Responsibilities that may promote children's rights globally rather than school restrictions. "Students behave exceptionally well" Our school has a positive atmosphere and is a welcoming location.
Pupils are very well-behaved, as Ofsted stated, and they are right!
Our positive behaviour management policy makes sure that kids can learn in a quiet, well-managed setting that increases their self-esteem and confidence so they may do their best.
We have a very active PTA, many of parents volunteer at the school, and strong relationships between our home and school communities.
We are happy to call ourselves a "eco-school." We have already received our silver medal and are trying to get our green flag.
Because we place a high importance on providing our students with the resources they need to build active and healthy lifestyles, we have received the "Healthy Schools" and "Sport England" awards.
