Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Success of the Curriculum: Content is sequenced from early years to Year 6. Learning builds on what pupils should already know.
Foundational Skills: The content of the phonics programme is well sequenced and structured. However, support for pupils who struggle to read in key stage 1 and Year 3 is not consistently effective.
Areas Needing Improvement: Assessment does not accurately identify what pupils know and can do. Some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Teachers do not adapt learning to rectify this.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning and play together harmoniously. Behaviour has improved and bullying is rare.
Performance in Maths & Reading: In mathematics, some pupils cannot recall basic number facts and times tables easily, affecting their progress.
Support for Falling Behind: Leaders prioritise and promote the teaching of reading but pupils who have fallen behind with their reading are not catching up quickly enough.
Support for SEND Pupils: Leaders accurately identify and support pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs well. However, other additional needs are not identified appropriately.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say that bullying is rare and are confident that adults will sort out any problems quickly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: There is a strong emphasis on supporting pupils’ mental health and well-being. Pupils talk positively about the help they can request and receive.
Parent Feedback: Staff, parents, and governors are proud to be part of the school community.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy the many clubs that are on offer and the trips and visits that are organised, including a visit to the national art gallery.
Teacher Engagement: Leaders engage well with staff. Staff feel valued and listened to. They appreciate the training and support they receive.
Impact on Student Progress: Assessment is not used effectively, leading to gaps in pupils' knowledge, which hinders their progress.
