Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Teachers enable pupils to acquire and practise skills in reading, writing and mathematics effectively.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is a treasure chest of learning opportunities for pupils, bringing learning to life and helping them acquire a wide range of skills and knowledge.
Areas Needing Improvement: Pupils, especially the most able, have too few opportunities to use reasoning to solve challenging problems in mathematics.
Performance in Maths & Reading: In 2017, pupils are on track to achieve above national figures for reading and mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders quickly identify when a group is falling behind and move quickly to accelerate progress.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour in lessons and at other times around the school is good. Pupils are polite and considerate of others.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are well catered for and make good progress. Teachers understand their differing needs and draw on the many systems, resources, supports and expertise on offer.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say that bullying is rare in the school and usually sorted out immediately. Pupils understand that bullying is not the same as arguments and acts of isolated unkindness.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: This is a harmonious school community where everyone knows that they are valued and safe. Leaders have made it their responsibility to put pupils’ well-being at the heart of the academy’s work.
Parent Feedback: Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the way that pupils are taught and looked after. Most parents feel that teachers are approachable, keep parents informed and deal with any issues.
Parental Involvement: Leaders work hard to ensure that parents feel fully involved in their child’s education.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy a good number of visits to places far and wide, including some residential visits, supplemented by visitors like theatre companies and representatives of charities.
Teacher Engagement: Staff say that the principal makes them feel 'safe and valued'. All staff benefit from a range of opportunities to develop their skills and undertake new initiatives.
Impact on Student Progress: The principal has a clear view of where teaching is strongest and where it is less effective, working closely with senior leaders to drive further improvements in teaching.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Senior leaders work closely with teachers to sharpen their skills and highlight ways in which their teaching can become even more effective.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Middle leaders are very new to post and will need more training and time out of class to be fully effective.
