Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Leaders have set out a curriculum plan to make sure every pupil learns to read well, which they do.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have designed an effective curriculum. It centres on four key elements: diversity, aspiration, vocabulary, and health and well-being.
Areas Needing Improvement: In a few subjects, leaders do not routinely check how well pupils are learning the curriculum. Leaders should rigorously evaluate the quality of education.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Leaders check pupils' learning through 'flashbacks' at the start of lessons; pupils with SEND receive appropriate help.
Support for Falling Behind: Teachers provide immediate support for any pupils who fall behind.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons. Pupils say bullying happens sometimes but teachers intervene and stop it.
Support for SEND Pupils: The leadership and management of provision for pupils with SEND are strengths. Staff have helped pupils overcome significant challenges.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Leaders have effective procedures in place to keep pupils safe. Pupils say that bullying happens sometimes, but teachers intervene and stop it.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: There are good relationships between pupils, staff, and parents, allowing them to work together and act quickly on concerns.
Parent Feedback: Parents give positive feedback about the school through Ofsted Parent View and free-text comments.
Parental Involvement: Staff put pupils and their families first. They know the challenges that some families face and provide effective help and support.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils benefit from a range of trips and extra-curricular clubs such as music and dance festivals.
Teacher Engagement: Leaders have thought carefully about what the pupils at Priestsic need to learn; their actions reduce staff workload without impacting negatively on pupils.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers have strong subject knowledge and ensure pupils remember what they have learned.
Teaching Staff Challenges: A minority of pupils show challenging behaviours during social times, but leaders are reviewing the behavior policy.
