Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders have made the teaching of early reading a high priority. Staff are well trained to teach phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders and staff have worked together to design a well-sequenced curriculum. Most subjects are well planned.
Areas Needing Improvement: The teaching of more sophisticated reading skills is in the early stages of development.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils enjoy learning a wide variety of subjects. They talk enthusiastically about challenges in mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Skilled adults work with pupils at risk of falling behind to help them catch up quickly.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons and at other times of the day. They are polite, well-mannered, and respectful.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are successfully included in school life.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is not tolerated at King Charles. If it ever does happen, teachers deal with it quickly and effectively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: All staff have a good understanding of how to keep pupils safe. They are well-trained and understand local issues.
Parent Feedback: We spoke to parents at the start of both days of the inspection and at the end of the first day.
Parental Involvement: Staff make sure that pupils and their families understand the importance of good attendance.
Extracurricular Activities: Staff provide lots of chances for pupils to participate in other activities, including cookery club, a debating group and the school choir.
Outdoor Facilities: Children enjoy their forest school experiences. The outside environment for children in early years is not as well developed as the indoors.
Teacher Engagement: There is a strong committed staff team. Leaders use an ongoing system to develop staff skills and knowledge.
Impact on Student Progress: Occasionally, pupils find the work easy to complete and are not challenged quickly enough.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Teachers’ expectations vary, and some do not keep a close enough eye on what pupils are doing.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders should continue to support staff to develop their subject knowledge so that all curriculum areas are taught consistently well.
