Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Foundational Skills: Early reading is, rightly, a priority for the school.
Success of the Curriculum: There are ambitious, long-term aims for pupils in the broad range of subjects offered.
Areas Needing Improvement: The design of the curriculum is not yet precise enough to ensure that all staff know the exact knowledge that needs to be taught.
Support for Falling Behind: If any pupils fall behind, they receive support to help them catch up.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils do not achieve as highly as they should.
Support for SEND Pupils: This is an inclusive school with high aspirations for pupils with SEND.

Teacher Engagement: Staff and governors are passionate and committed to the school.
Impact on Student Progress: Too often, pupils’ understanding is not checked carefully enough.
