Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Success of the Curriculum: The foundation for the pupils' progress is imaginative, well-structured teaching that engages them in interesting tasks.
Foundational Skills: Progress in reading is good but inconsistent; writing has improved due to engaging contexts, and more pupils are working above expected levels in mathematics.
Areas Needing Improvement: Assessment information is not always used accurately enough to plan the next steps in each pupil's learning.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who fall behind receive individual reading sessions and short number activities to catch up.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils' behaviour is good and consistently promoted by the staff, leading to a very strong work ethic and respect for others.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Year 6 test results are rising and broadly average; progress in reading is good but inconsistent at Key Stage 1.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs make good progress supported by sharply focused activities, skilled teaching assistants, and specific withdrawal sessions.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is not a concern; inappropriate behavior incidents are dealt with swiftly, firmly, and constructively.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils show respect for their teachers and adults, contributing to a harmonious atmosphere and taking responsibility to help others manage their behavior.
Parent Feedback: Parents comment on improvements and decreasing incidents of unacceptable behavior.
Parental Involvement: Workshops on reading, phonics, and mathematics enable parents to support their children better at home.
Teacher Engagement: Teaching is good, improving, and leads to rising achievement; teachers make lessons interesting and help pupils make good progress.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers promote spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development well, helping pupils improve their learning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Teachers do not always use assessment information effectively to ensure lessons build on prior attainment.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: There are improvements in marking, but pupils do not always understand their targets or have time to respond to feedback.
