Areas for Improvement
- Pupils' achievement in reading, writing and mathematics is below national averages at end of Year 6 and Year 1 phonics screening
- Inconsistent teaching quality across school - some lessons lack clear purpose or move too quickly
- Older struggling readers do not receive the same systematic phonics support as younger pupils
- Pupils do not consistently secure essential knowledge and skills across the wider curriculum
- Governors do not hold leaders to account rigorously enough for school performance
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
