Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Foundational Skills: Leaders have made learning to read a priority, with effective training on the new phonics programme and additional support for pupils who need extra teaching.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum broadly matches the aims of the national curriculum and includes subjects like mathematics and reading.
Areas Needing Improvement: In subjects like religious education and geography, the curriculum is still being developed and lacks small steps of knowledge that link together.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Most pupils learn to read well, and leaders have clearly set out what pupils will learn from Nursery to Year 6 in mathematics and reading.
Support for Falling Behind: Additional support is provided for pupils who need extra teaching, especially in reading. Leaders are quick to identify pupils' needs in English and mathematics.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well and meet leaders’ high expectations with respect, compassion, responsibility, courage, and resilience. Bullying is effectively dealt with.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders have recently improved their systems for supporting pupils with SEND, with finely tuned support in English and mathematics.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is not tolerated and is effectively dealt with by staff. All staff receive regular safeguarding training.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils understand ways to stay healthy and safe, with visits from local fire services and police officers to advise on safety issues.
Parent Feedback: Inspectors took account of the responses to Ofsted Parent View and written comments. Parents' views were gathered during the inspection.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils realize their talents and interests through extracurricular activities like sewing, art, singing, football, and running.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers and teaching assistants are appreciated by pupils for their help. Leaders ensure that pupils study a full range of curriculum subjects.
Impact on Student Progress: Some teachers do not always have sufficient subject knowledge to present information clearly to pupils, affecting their achievement.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Subject leaders need more support to equip them with the skills to lead their subject, affecting the overall teaching quality.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Assessment of what pupils know and remember in some subjects is still being developed, leading to inconsistencies in planning future learning.
