Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

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

Foundational Skills: Pupils in Key Stage 1 quickly learn phonics to support their reading and writing, as well as the mathematics skills they need.
Success of the Curriculum: Current standards at the end of Year 2 and Year 6 are in line with those seen nationally.
Areas Needing Improvement: Limited planned opportunities for ‘free-choice’ activities outdoors in Reception restrict independent learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils continue to build on these good achievements and by the end of Year 6, attainment in English and mathematics is broadly average.
Support for Falling Behind: Any difficulties are quickly identified and the funding is used well to provide very carefully matched additional support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are good, contributing strongly to good learning in lessons.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs make good progress with good support from class teachers, teaching assistants, and outside agencies.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say they feel safe in school and are aware of different forms of bullying.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school provides outstanding pastoral care for all its pupils and ensures all have the same opportunities to succeed. Safeguarding systems are secure and rigorous.
Parental Involvement: The school has very positive relationships with parents and carers and members of the local community.
Parent Feedback: There were insufficient responses to the online questionnaire for parents and carers (Parent View) to allow analysis.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils benefit from a good variety of exciting additional activities and experiences throughout the year, including visits and residential stays.
Outdoor Facilities: Planning and resources for the use of the secure outdoor area in the Early Years Foundation Stage are currently limited.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers plan lessons well, sharing what is to be learned and how to judge successful learning.
Impact on Student Progress: Good teaching leads to pupils making good progress throughout the school.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The headteacher meets each class teacher every half term to evaluate and discuss assessment information, ensuring teachers understand how well their pupils are performing.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Occasionally the pace of learning slows, leading to some pupils losing their concentration.
