Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders should ensure that staff are well trained to make timely adjustments in teaching so that disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities develop fluent handwriting, writing and mathematics skills. • Leaders should ensure that teachers have the necessary expertise to check and address consistently the key gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding, including in the early years, so that pupils deepen their learning and achieve highly in the curriculum. • Leaders should ensure that they use their analysis of attendance patterns more sharply to inform timely actions and effective support in order to secure sustained improvements in attendance and a rapid reduction in persistent absence, especially for disadvantaged pupils".
