Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Success of the Curriculum: In some subjects, pupils’ learning is strong and pupils know more and remember more. In these subjects, pupils are highly motivated
Foundational Skills: Leaders have prioritized reading with significant investment in training and resources. Pupils begin to learn to read in Nursery or as soon as they enter Reception Year. However, some children do not have enough opportunities to practice their phonics
Areas Needing Improvement: For other subjects, the implementation of the curriculum is patchy and some pupils do not make the progress they should. Teachers’ checks on what pupils know and can remember are sometimes not effective
Behaviour and Attitudes: There are high expectations for behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and there is little low-level disruption
Performance in Maths & Reading: In mathematics, some pupils have gaps in their key number facts and so they do not build up their fluency in number well enough
Support for Falling Behind: Some pupils, who are at the early stages of reading, struggle to read fluently because the books they read are too difficult
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders work well with parents and pupils to identify needs quickly. However, some staff do not adapt learning well enough for those pupils who find it difficult
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is extremely rare, but pupils are confident that if it did happen, it would be dealt with quickly
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: There is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school. Staff are well trained and know how to recognise signs of abuse
Parent Feedback: Parents told inspectors about the positive and supportive staff. Parents told us that ‘the staff went above and beyond’ and ‘nothing was too much trouble’
Parental Involvement: Leaders work well with parents to identify needs quickly and support pupils and families, including those going to alternative provision
Extracurricular Activities: The school used to offer a wide range of clubs and wider opportunities for pupils. Leaders plan to restart these in the new year
Teacher Engagement: Leaders are considerate of staff well-being and workload. Staff told us that leaders have supported them well through the move to the new trust
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers’ checks on what pupils know and can remember are sometimes not effective, which hinders pupils’ progress
Teaching Staff Challenges: Some staff do not adapt learning well enough for those pupils who find it difficult. This results in such pupils not achieving as well as they should
