Ofsted report May 2024

Below you will find a copy of our Ofsted report from the inspection carried out on the 26th and 27th March 2024. 

We are extremely proud that Ashley has moved from Requires Improvement to GOOD in all areas.

Overall Effectiveness: Good

Quality of Education: Good

Behaviour and Attitudes: Good

Personal Development: Good

Leadership and Management: Good

Early Years Provision: Good

The inspection team noted that ‘the clarity of leaders’ vision had enabled the school to move forward’. Moving from requires improvement to good takes a lot of time and commitment and ‘it is evident the leaders have taken the staff with them on the journey’.

The inspection team felt that the teaching of phonics, using Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics scheme, was rigorous with fidelity to the scheme enabling our children to be successful. Reading is prioritised, a love of reading is fostered and pupils enjoy reading.

In Reception (Early Years) there is a focus on communication and language; the environments (inside and out) are purposeful and well resourced. The children learn well across the curriculum, including the teaching of early mathematics and reading. The children are taught what they need to know so they are ready to move to Year 1. The staff have high expectations and the children are excited to learn. Social, moral, spiritual and cultural learning is strong.

The report is extremely positive and reflects the excellent progress we have made since our last inspection.
