Areas for Improvement

- School not consistently checking how well teachers deliver the curriculum or where improvements are needed
- Phonics programme recently introduced but implementation is not fully effective
- Trust and governing body have not acted quickly enough to tackle underachievement
- Support for pupils with SEND in their learning is not as effective as it should be
