Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: The teaching of phonics (the sounds that letters make) has improved and, as a result, pupils in Year 1 make good progress and attain well in reading.
Success of the Curriculum: Achievement in English and mathematics is now good. The school works particularly well with its parents and carers.
Areas Needing Improvement: Too few opportunities for pupils to practise their numeracy and literacy skills in different subjects or develop their problem-solving skills.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Achievement in English and mathematics is now good with some outstanding progress in Years 5 and 6.
Support for Falling Behind: Children get off to a good start in the Nursery and Reception classes. Targeted help aids the progress of pupils falling behind.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils love coming to school, feel safe, behave well, and are proud of their school.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs achieve well because the work they are given is pitched at the right level and well-targeted help aids progress.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Incidents of bullying are very rare and dealt with swiftly and effectively. Pupils know how to stay safe, including online.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The headteacher and staff have successfully created a friendly, welcoming school where pupils and staff feel valued.
Parent Feedback: Most parents and carers speak highly of the school.
Parental Involvement: Senior leaders forge strong links with parents. Numerous meetings and evening events for parents to attend.

Impact on Student Progress: There has been a marked improvement in the quality and quantity of work during the spring and summer terms.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The checks carried out by senior leaders on the quality of teaching are thorough and high expectations are set.
