Key Strengths

- Governance has strengthened significantly with governors now having the commitment and skills to challenge school leaders

Areas for Improvement
- Teaching remains inconsistent, particularly in writing and phonics, so pupils' progress is variable
- Leaders, especially middle leaders, are not contributing effectively enough to school improvement
- Assessment and progress tracking systems are causing confusion about what good progress actually looks like
- Leaders are not quickly enough addressing underachievement, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs
- Early years provision needs improvement, especially in challenging the most able children in writing
Safeguarding
The school's arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders placing high priority on pupil safety and having efficient systems in place to keep pupils safe.
Extracurricular Activities

Long Lee Primary School requires improvement after a prolonged period of turbulence that has resulted in falling standards across all aspects of the school's work. While there are increasing signs of improvement under new strategic leadership, developments have not yet been fast enough to secure good outcomes for pupils.
