Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: A wide range of learning opportunities are provided for pupils so that they can develop their speech and communication, social skills, physical skills, as well as reading, writing and number skills.
Success of the Curriculum: Your self-evaluation of the school’s work is accurate and based securely upon evidence.
Areas Needing Improvement: You are clear that the key priority is to ensure that the curriculum can be further developed to incorporate the needs of older pupils.
Performance in Maths & Reading: The most able pupils read aloud in class, reading directly from a presented text. They enjoy acting out the voices of different characters.
Support for Falling Behind: The school’s speech therapist has been instrumental in providing training for staff. As a result, most pupils make good or better progress in their speech and communication from their starting points.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Staff manage pupils’ behaviour in class and around school with the utmost sensitivity and care, especially when pupils are upset.
Support for SEND Pupils: There are termly meetings organised by senior leaders with all relevant health professionals to discuss the developmental needs of each pupil. This results in very clear education, health and care plans.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Leaders and governors ensure that safeguarding arrangements are robust, understood, and followed by all relevant personnel, including visitors to the school.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Governors review related policies annually and staff receive updated training in safeguarding, raising their awareness about possible safeguarding or child protection issues.
Parent Feedback: Parents say that the school is ‘fantastic’ and there is ‘great parental engagement’. Staff are ‘caring and supportive’ and pupils are ‘thriving’.
Parental Involvement: Parents' comments are included in pupils' learning records and there is strong partnership between the speech therapist and parents.
Extracurricular Activities: Sports premium funding has been used very effectively to improve pupils’ gross motor skills, for example through the purchase of an outdoor trampoline and soft-play resources.
Outdoor Facilities: Play equipment for outdoor play is often decided based on pupils' likes and dislikes.
Teacher Engagement: Feedback provided by leaders enables teachers to reflect in depth about their class lessons and to focus upon their strengths and weaknesses.
Impact on Student Progress: Senior staff link their lesson observation findings to the performance management of teachers, with strong reference to the importance of the progress pupils make from their starting points.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Most pupils make good or better progress from their starting points, although there was initially less progress in speech and communication, which has since been addressed.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Classrooms are calm and inclusive. Staff adhere exceptionally well to the agreed school policy for teaching, learning and assessment.
