Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Foundational Skills: Leaders rightly prioritise reading. Revising the phonics programme worked wonders.
Success of the Curriculum: For the most part, the school’s curriculum is suitably clear, detailing what pupils learn and when.
Areas Needing Improvement: There remain a few subjects that lack the strengths of others.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers’ use of assessment, such as pre- and post-unit tests, allows them to check what pupils know.
Support for Falling Behind: Dedicated teaching assistants have the know-how to reteach concepts to those pupils who need the extra help.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils have high expectations for their own and others’ conduct, they spot and report bullying straight away.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities typically thrive. Leaders guide teachers to work with parents to specify suitable support in the ‘learning passports’.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Having leaders and staff who resolve their worries means pupils remain safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders, including governors, and staff receive training that ensures they understand the ways to spot and report pupils at risk of harm.
Parent Feedback: You can use Ofsted Parent View to give Ofsted your opinion on your child’s school, or to find out what other parents and carers think.
Extracurricular Activities: The way in which leaders and staff cater for pupils’ personal development works wonderfully. Pupils and parents alike value the ample extra-curricular offer.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers’ use of assessment allows them to check what pupils know, which informs teaching.
Teacher Engagement: Leaders bring out the best in pupils and staff. Considered arrangements ensure teachers have a manageable workload.
