Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: In mathematics, leaders provide teachers with regular training to give them the expertise they need to teach the curriculum well
Success of the Curriculum: The headteacher has developed a strong team of leaders who are now supporting other staff
Areas Needing Improvement: Teachers have planned essential subject-specific vocabulary that they would like pupils to know, but there are too many words for pupils to remember
Performance in Maths & Reading: The deputy headteacher has an infectious passion for reading; weaker readers receive additional support
Support for Falling Behind: Weaker readers receive additional support. This helps them to practise the sounds they need to catch up
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well around school. They feel safe. Bullying rarely happens
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) participate fully in school life. Staff plan appropriate adaptations to the curriculum
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying rarely happens and if it does, adults deal with it straight away. Staff listen to pupils
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Safeguarding procedures are strong. Suitable approaches are in place for managing safe recruitment
Parent Feedback: Parents and pupils value how leaders and staff are available to speak to, every day
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils take part in a wide range of after-school clubs, such as art, cooking, and gardening
Outdoor Facilities: Leaders identified road safety as an issue and provided extra safety lessons
