What This School Does Well
The school has made positive changes under new leadership, with pupils showing improved progress in reading, writing and maths across most year groups. Governors are now actively involved in monitoring the school and asking tough questions to ensure leaders deliver improvements. The Early Years Foundation Stage has benefited from stable staffing which has positively impacted the learning environment.
Key Strengths
- Governors now effectively challenge and hold school leaders to account after receiving training on scrutinising pupil progress data
- Pupils' progress in reading, writing and mathematics has broadly improved in most Key Stage 1 and 2 year groups
- New leadership team has provided stability and made sensible decisions about staffing and teacher placement
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality monitoring procedures are not robust enough to give leaders an accurate view of teaching over time
- Feedback to teachers after lesson observations does not focus sufficiently on improving pupils' progress
- There are no individual training and support plans to help teachers who are struggling
- Leaders do not have a complete picture of pupil progress tracking
- School improvement plans have progressed slowly and deadlines have been missed
Ferry Lane Primary School was inspected in June 2013 as part of monitoring following a serious weaknesses designation. The school is not making enough progress towards removal of this designation.
