Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a school that requires improvement Since the previous inspection, leaders and governors have not maintained a good quality of education.

Until recently, leaders have not measured rigorously enough the impact of additional support for disadvantaged pupils. As a result, these pupils have not made strong rates of progress across the curriculum. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is not consistently good.

Teachers' expectations are not high enough, particularly for the most able pupils in key stage 2. Improvements that leaders have made to the curriculum are at too early a stage to have had an impact on pupils' progress. Subject leaders are n...ew to their roles and do not yet play a full part in enabling pupils to achieve well across a wide range of subjects.

Good practice has not yet been shared effectively across the school. The school has the following strengths The new headteacher is diligently and systematically tackling weaknesses. She understands the priorities for the school.

Leaders have established a culture where pupils are well behaved, positive and respectful towards each other. Their conduct throughout the school is good. Pupils are happy, safe and well cared for.

They learn how to keep themselves safe online. The teaching of phonics is effective. Pupils make a good start with reading.

Children in the early years get off to a good start in all areas of their learning. This is because activities are carefully planned to meet the needs and interests of young children. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported.
