Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Children learn phonics as soon as they start in Reception. They learn how to segment words and blend sounds accurately.
Success of the Curriculum: The trust and school have not identified, or sequenced, the important knowledge that pupils need to learn.
Areas Needing Improvement: The reading curriculum is not having the intended impact. Many pupils leave Tregolls Academy lacking the knowledge and skills required for the next stage of their education.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who fall behind in their reading are quickly identified and supported effectively to catch up.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils’ skills in reading, writing and mathematics have been significantly below that of their peers nationally at the end of key stage 1 and key stage 2.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Lessons are sometimes disrupted by persistent low-level misbehaviour. This has a negative impact on pupils’ learning.
Support for SEND Pupils: The school does not support pupils with SEND consistently well. Therefore, some pupils do not have their needs met.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: On occasion where bullying happens, the school deals with it swiftly but it does not stop completely. This causes some pupils to be unhappy.
Parent Feedback: A significant number of parents do not have faith in the school’s or trust’s ability to tackle issues and to deal with their concerns quickly and effectively.
Parental Involvement: The school and the trust have attempted to engage with parents and the wider community. While some parents comment positively about the school, too many parents feel that the school and the trust do not deal with their concerns well.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy after-school clubs such as netball, football and French.
Teacher Engagement: Staff are happy to work at the school. They feel supported to manage their workload.
Impact on Student Progress: Staff do not use assessment information well enough to resolve pupils’ misconceptions quickly or to adapt future learning. This means that pupils develop large gaps in their knowledge.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Frequent staff absences and changes in leadership have further exacerbated the school’s development of the curriculum.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Assessment is not used effectively. Staff do not check well enough how well pupils remember the knowledge they have been taught.
