Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Pupils develop their reading well across all year groups. As soon as they start early years, children begin to learn phonics.
Success of the Curriculum: Teachers set pupils very demanding work that requires pupils to think hard. Across subjects, teachers explain difficult ideas very well so that pupils understand them.
Areas Needing Improvement: In subjects such as French and history, leaders have not planned as precisely. As a result, in these subjects pupils do not build their learning over time as well as they could.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils in all year groups develop a love of reading. In subjects such as English, mathematics and science pupils produce high-quality work and achieve very well.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who are behind in their reading receive extra help. This helps them to catch up.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave extremely well in lessons and around school. They have excellent attitudes to learning.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well because staff understand their needs. Teachers develop and change their teaching to make sure that all pupils understand what to do.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils feel safe in school. Parents, staff, and pupils all agree that there is no bullying in school. Staff have up-to-date training so that they understand how to keep pupils safe.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders have embedded a strong safeguarding culture. They ensure appropriate checks on staff suitability.
Parent Feedback: Parents fully support the changes the headteacher has made over the past year. All parents agreed that the school is well-led and managed.
Parental Involvement: They appreciate the in-depth information they receive about their children’s progress.
Extracurricular Activities: There are a very wide range of activities for pupils to get involved in, including after-school clubs for cooking, cross-country running, and football.
