Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Teachers pronounce sounds and letters clearly. They show pupils the mouth movements needed in order to produce each sound correctly for themselves.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders have ensured that the curriculum is enriching. Clubs, visits, visitors, and a thoughtful consideration of how subjects relate to one another develop pupils’ knowledge and skills across areas effectively.
Foundational Skills: Consistent, clear phonics teaching with regular checks ensures progress.
Success of the Curriculum: Ambitious curriculum from early years has positive impact on achievement.
Areas Needing Improvement: Occasionally, some pupils are not challenged as effectively as they might be. Books and tasks do not match a few pupils’ phonics needs precisely enough.
Areas Needing Improvement: Attention needed for technical writing skills such as spelling and grammar.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils’ progress in key stage 2 has been above national averages in mathematics and well above in reading over time.
Support for Falling Behind: Those pupils not reaching the standard in Year 1 receive good, carefully targeted small-group or individual support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ conduct in and around the school is exemplary. Little acts of kindness between pupils are ever-present.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Regular checks ensure pupils make progress in phonics and reading.
Support for Falling Behind: Daily support for those not on track in phonics and reading.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils are polite, friendly, and respond positively to high behaviour expectations.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress in each key stage. Leaders’ actions and expertise ensure that early, targeted support is promptly put in place.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils feel safe and are kept safe. They are completely confident that bullying is not tolerated.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff work diligently with pupils to ensure that they are kept safe. Visitors such as the police, firefighters, and 'swim safety' partners enhance this aspect of the school’s work.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: High priority on safety; pupils know how to keep safe online.
Parent Feedback: Parents who responded to Ofsted’s survey agree that their child is well looked after and kept safe by staff.
Parental Involvement: They welcome the involvement of parents and offer a broad range of opportunities for them to share and join in their children’s learning.
Extracurricular Activities: Extra-curricular opportunities are widely available and enhance pupils’ daily experiences.
Outdoor Facilities: The outdoor environment is less beneficial for children; several resources are old and tired.
Teacher Engagement: Staff like working here and feel valued as part of the St Margaret ‘family’.
Impact on Student Progress: Teaching and learning across key stages and subjects are good. A buzz of learning is palpable across classes, and pupils are very well supported in their work. Consequently, most make good or very good progress from their different starting points.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: The quality of teaching and learning is good and improving. Monitoring systems are fair and thorough.
Impact on Student Progress: Well-structured lessons with consistent teaching lead to pupil engagement.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Sometimes, however, tasks are too easy. Some pupils told inspectors that they already know and can do some of the work they are given in a variety of subjects.
