Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The teaching of early reading is not consistent. Staff need to teach the phonics programme accurately.
Success of the Curriculum: The new curriculum maps out learning from early years to Year 6, but gaps in knowledge remain.
Areas Needing Improvement: The wider curriculum does not consistently develop pupils' skills and knowledge over time.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Assessment is used well in core subjects to address misconceptions before moving on.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons and know they can tell a trusted adult if bullying happens.
Support for Falling Behind: Reading programme sessions for those falling behind are not taught consistently well.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils have access to resources like concrete apparatus and word banks to support learning.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils know they can tell a trusted adult about bullying; however, low-level safeguarding concerns are not always documented well.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders need to document actions taken to address low-level safeguarding concerns better.
Parental Involvement: Leaders work closely with families to ensure regular attendance.
Parent Feedback: Parents are encouraged to give feedback via Ofsted Parent View.
Extracurricular Activities: The school offers clubs such as singing, learning a musical instrument, and sports competitions.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers recap relevant prior learning to support pupils’ development.
