Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders and those responsible for governance should continue to act swiftly so that the shortcoming in pupils' education are resolved, leading to sustainable improvements. • Those responsible for governance should continue to build their knowledge and expertise so that they are better able to hold leaders to account for the quality of the school's work and pupils' achievements. • Leaders should ensure that staff have the necessary knowledge and expertise to identify pupils' needs accurately and remedy gaps in their knowledge so that pupils make the progress that they should through the curriculum. • Leaders should ensure that attendance improves for all pupils to be at least in line with national averages. • Leaders should ensure that a coherent and appropriate programme of personal development extends across the taught curriculum and wider opportunities and experiences so that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, benefit and are well prepared for their future lives. • Leaders should ensure that staff have the skills to engage in high-quality interactions with children in the early years, so that children learn the key vocabulary that they need to deepen their learning".
