| OFSTED 2008 Effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage GRADE 2 |
| Children’s attainment on entry
to the EYFS is below that expected for their ages and in some years is
well below. This is particularly so in personal and social skills and in
communication and language skills. The school provides a very welcoming
atmosphere and good liaison with parents involves them in their
children’s learning and development. Good teaching and a good range of
interesting activities help most children settle in happily when they
start school. Teaching and learning are good because the teacher and
assistant ensure that children enjoy their learning experiences in
indoor and outdoor activities. They encourage curiosity and engage
children’s interests, enabling them to express themselves and gain in
confidence. Good behaviour is developed through clear explanations and
sensitive reminders about class rules. Children get on well together and
learn from each other. They handle materials sensibly and move them from
one place to another safely. Children make good progress in most areas
of learning so that when they enter Year 1, about half achieve the early
learning goals and a few exceed them. What the school should do to improve further � Improve teachers’ marking so that it makes clearer to individual
pupils exactly what they have done well and what they need to do to
improve. |
