Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Foundational Skills: Phonics is taught as soon as pupils begin school. Sounds are taught in a logical sequence to help pupils become fluent readers early.
Success of the Curriculum: The majority of the school's curriculum in other subjects is well planned and sequenced. Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning.
Areas Needing Improvement: A small number of subjects are not yet fully planned and sequenced. Leaders should ensure the curriculum is well planned across all subjects.
Support for Falling Behind: There are personalised plans for pupils with SEND to set out the provision that needs to be in place.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are polite, motivated by rewards, and understand the school's sanctions.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Beyond phonics, the reading curriculum sets out end points but does not build incrementally. Leaders should ensure milestones to check progress.
Support for SEND Pupils: Pupils with SEND are well catered for. The SENCo ensures needs are accurately identified and planned for with specific, measurable targets.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: All concerns are recorded and acted on quickly. Pupils know how to stay safe and whom to talk to for support.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The school's SEMH worker provides well-tailored support, and the impact is carefully measured.
Parent Feedback: Parents are unanimously positive about the school, appreciating the caring and safe environment provided for their children.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers conduct regular checks to assess pupil progress, though improvements in termly milestone assessments are needed.
Impact on Student Progress: Phonics and reading programmes are effective but need incremental building to ensure ongoing checkpoints.
Teaching Staff Challenges: A small number of subjects require better planning and sequencing to improve pupil retention of curriculum content.
