Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Foundational Skills: Most pupils are confident readers and are taught phonics well. However, there is still some room for improvement in handwriting.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils enjoy their lessons and successfully build on what they know and remember over time.
Areas Needing Improvement: Teachers could challenge the pupils more and place greater emphasis on correct letter formation.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils’ attainment at all stages is good. They are keen readers, and phonics is taught well.
Support for Falling Behind: Those who need help to manage their behaviour are very well supported.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Attitudes towards learning are excellent and disruptive behaviour is extremely rare.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs met appropriately. Planning for additional support is focused on the individual.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is extremely rare. Staff have positive relationships with the pupils and know them well.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils feel safe at school and know how to keep themselves safe both out and about and online.
Parent Feedback: All parents who responded to the online survey, Parent View, reported that their children felt safe at school.
Parental Involvement: The school is a central part of the community. Pupils regularly visit the local farm, enhancing their learning experience.
Extracurricular Activities: There is a wide range of extra-curricular clubs on offer daily.
Outdoor Facilities: At playtimes, pupils have access to a wide range of apparatus, sports activities and construction equipment.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers share clear expectations of good behaviour, and staff feel well supported in terms of workload and professional development.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers use their own knowledge of effective teaching to plan steps to learning, resulting in good pupil attainment.
Teaching Staff Challenges: There are times when teachers could challenge pupils more by developing learning opportunities as they arise and emphasizing correct letter formation early on.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Subject leaders are developing curriculum planning but do not yet check that what leaders intend pupils to learn is actually the case.
