What This School Does Well
Edgebury Primary School has made good improvements to English teaching, with pupils now enjoying reading and making better progress.

Areas for Improvement
- Expectations for pupil achievement are not high enough, especially in mathematics
- Teaching is inconsistent and doesn't always match work to different ability levels
- Teachers' marking and feedback don't clearly show pupils how to improve, particularly in maths
- School leaders haven't acted quickly enough to improve mathematics teaching
- Governors don't challenge the school sufficiently to drive rapid improvement
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - pupils feel safe, bullying is rare, and staff deal with incidents like unkind comments effectively.
