Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Governors should make sure that they use the precise information that they gather about the school's work, so that they can provide effective support and challenge to leaders"; "Leaders should revise the writing curriculum, so that pupils develop their spelling, handwriting and grammar from an early age, particularly disadvantaged pupils"; "Leaders should make sure that staff apply the school's expectations for behaviour consistently, so that pupils, particularly younger pupils, develop the self-regulation skills they need"; "Leaders should make sure that adults use their interactions, activities and adaptations to match children's starting points, so that children learn more and remember more".

The school runs a breakfast club from 8:50am and after-school care.
