Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Staff have the expertise they need to teach phonics. Many in Reception Year and Year 1 show great excitement when they learn new sounds.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum building on previous knowledge. However, pupils do not remember enough of what they have learned before to build their knowledge.
Areas Needing Improvement: Pupils make slower progress because they do not remember enough prior learning. Staff sometimes lack knowledge of pupils' starting points to match work accurately.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff re-teach missing knowledge quickly and provide support for those who struggle with foundational skills.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Inspectors carried out deep dives in mathematics and early reading. Some students struggle to read well enough to access the curriculum.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Some pupils are inattentive and interrupt learning. Pupils sometimes find it hard to concentrate due to distractions by others.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders work closely with other agencies, but some pupils with SEND do not receive the help they need to learn the curriculum properly.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is uncommon and dealt with quickly. Safeguarding records are detailed and well-maintained, allowing for timely referrals to external agencies.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff are well trained to spot the signs that a pupil may be at risk and know how to report any concerns. Pupils know which school staff to speak to if they have any worries.
Parent Feedback: Inspectors considered responses to Ofsted’s online survey, Ofsted Parent View, and spoke to parents as they dropped their children off at school.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils appreciate the many clubs and trips such as dance festivals and residential trips.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers explain new learning clearly and correct mistakes and misconceptions quickly.
Impact on Student Progress: Staff check what pupils know and identify gaps in knowledge, providing necessary re-teaching. Some pupils make slower progress due to poor recall.
