Areas for Improvement

- Assessment is not rigorous enough and teachers do not provide pupils with feedback on how to improve
- Leaders and governors have an overgenerous view of the school and monitoring lacks precision
- Early years assessments are inaccurate and some children lack basic skills when entering Year 1
