Success of the Curriculum: Recent curricular changes such as 'block' teaching for subjects like history and design and technology are beginning to have a positive impact.
Foundational Skills: The phonics curriculum is clear but inconsistently taught across the school. Training received by staff has not yet had a full impact.
Areas Needing Improvement: The school does not have clear systems to identify well-taught or underdeveloped subjects.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils behave well in lessons and are eager to learn.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Some pupils do not achieve as well as they could in national assessments.
Support for Falling Behind: Recent introduction of catch-up sessions for reading is beginning to make a difference, but more precise support is needed.
Support for SEND Pupils: The school does not clearly evaluate how effective the support for SEND pupils is, impacting their progress.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils have confidence that adults will help them if they have concerns or worries.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders ensure swift and effective support for low attendance, building positive relationships with families.
