Areas for Improvement
- Pupils do not make the progress they should through the curriculum and struggle with foundations of communication, reading, writing and number
- Attendance rates are low for all groups of pupils and have not improved quickly enough
- The curriculum is not ambitious or well structured - leaders have not planned what pupils should learn or the order in which they should learn it
- Teachers lack necessary subject knowledge and do not explain things in helpful ways
- Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs fall further behind with gaps that remain wide
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified and managed, resulting in pupils feeling safe.
