Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: From the minute children join the school, they learn to read using a well-structured phonics programme.
Success of the Curriculum: Leaders are ambitious in their curriculum thinking. Thoughtful curriculum design is an emerging strength of the school.
Areas Needing Improvement: Pupils are not always given suitably demanding work, particularly where less experienced staff are leading learning.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers select activities that help pupils remember information and build on what they know.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff receive appropriate training to support pupils with SEND in lessons. Extra support is available for those pupils who need it.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour in lessons is good. Pupils work diligently and do not disturb each other.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) face no barriers to success here. Everyone strives for them to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is very rare at this school. Leaders are making it clearer to pupils how they will be supported if they report bullying.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school has a strong culture of safeguarding. Leaders, including governors, are meticulous in ensuring that children are kept safe.
Parent Feedback: One parent said, ‘This school really cares.’
Parental Involvement: Pupils are very keen to welcome new people to the school.
Extracurricular Activities: There are a wide range of sports clubs for pupils to take part in. Pupils told inspectors they would like other types of activities as well, such as science club or arts and crafts.
Outdoor Facilities: The outdoor area in early years is well designed, and staff use it well to encourage children to develop vital skills such as balance and coordination.
Teacher Engagement: Staff willingly support each other and value the support from the multi-academy trust and local partnership schools.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers have strong subject knowledge in most subjects. They use this to support and challenge pupils, and as a result, pupils know more and understand more.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Recent curriculum developments are being used thoughtfully by leaders to further increase learning opportunities.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Where subject knowledge is less strong, specialist teachers deliver parts of the curriculum, for example in physical education.
