Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Oak Tree has done an excellent job bringing together two schools and their communities into a united, caring environment where pupils feel safe and respected. The school offers a rich curriculum with specialist teachers and regular enrichment activities that engage pupils. Strong leadership in mathematics is delivering good results in this subject, and the school shows genuine commitment to supporting its most vulnerable learners.

Key Strengths

  • School leaders have successfully united staff, parents, governors and pupils from the two predecessor schools, with the headteacher gaining community confidence and trust
  • Pupils are safe and well cared for, with strong respect for diversity and different faiths
  • Strong leadership in mathematics is improving teaching quality, with pupils enjoying mathematical challenges
  • Broad and balanced curriculum enriched by specialist teachers and regular school visits
  • Good care taken of vulnerable pupils and those with special educational needs during the transition

Areas for Improvement

  • Teaching, learning and assessment remain inconsistent - too many pupils made slower progress than expected, particularly in reading and writing
  • Leadership checks on teaching quality are insufficient, and middle leaders do not yet have enough influence on improving teaching across the school
  • Too few pupils met expected standards in phonics, and attainment at the end of key stage 2 in reading, writing and maths was below national average
  • Teachers' expectations of what pupils can achieve are too low, and learning is often too slow
  • Support for disadvantaged pupils is not well-targeted to their specific needs, and impact is not being evaluated

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - the school takes good care of its pupils and most vulnerable students, though teachers need to be more precise in identifying pupils' barriers to learning.

Extracurricular Activities

Street dance club, coding club, school visits and trips, theme days, physical education and sport activities

Oak Tree Primary School is a newly federated school that requires improvement. Senior leaders have not yet given sufficient priority to pupils' attainment and progress during the establishment of the new school.
