Areas for Improvement
- Achievement in writing is not strong enough, particularly in Key Stages 1 and 2
- Teaching does not consistently challenge the most able pupils, especially in writing
- Teacher questioning is not always precise or frequent enough to check pupils' understanding
- Marking does not always give pupils clear guidance on how to improve and reach the next level
- New subject leaders need better systems to check on pupils' progress and teaching quality
Safeguarding
The school's work to keep pupils safe is good, with pupils feeling well looked after and having good awareness of personal safety including cyber safety.
