Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Foundational Skills: Trust and school leaders prioritise reading. They have made sure that the books for children in Reception and key stage 1 match the sounds and letters that they know.
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is suitably ambitious across the full range of subjects.
Areas Needing Improvement: When learning moves outdoors, independent activities for pupils to practise their early communication and language are not as successful.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Older pupils who are still at the early stages of reading have effective support to catch up.
Support for Falling Behind: Staff help pupils to read and rehearse the challenging vocabulary needed to understand the story.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils show positive attitudes in lessons and interruptions to learning are rare.
Support for SEND Pupils: The SENCo works effectively with staff to identify and meet pupils’ needs swiftly; however, in some subjects, teachers do not use this information well enough to provide pupils with the additional support they need.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Bullying is rare. Pupils know that there are adults in school who will keep them safe and help them learn.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Staff take pride in knowing each pupil and their family well and work effectively with other agencies so that pupils get the help they need.
Parent Feedback: Parents appreciate the care that staff provide for their children.
Parental Involvement: Parents can use Ofsted Parent View to give their opinion on the school or find out what other parents and carers think.
Extracurricular Activities: Pupils enjoy writing to their pen pals in India and applying for positions of responsibility like house captain and play leader.
Teacher Engagement: Members of the trust board are equally ambitious for the school and its pupils and receive helpful information from the headteacher.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Leaders ensure that pupils get the best education possible, and staff share these high expectations. Consequently, pupils learn well in most subjects.
Impact on Student Progress: Teachers check that pupils learn well across the curriculum. However, some students with SEND do not learn the important knowledge and skills they need.
