Over time, leaders have not had high enough expectations of pupils. Since the last inspection, leaders, including governors, have not taken the action needed to address weaknesses in the quality of education. As a result, the school’s effectiveness has declined. Very recently, new leaders from a supporting multiacademy trust have begun to take appropriate action to address the weaknesses in the school. However, there remains much to do in order to secure a high-quality education for all pupils. Pupils do not develop fluency and confidence in reading as quickly as they should. In some subjects, pupils are taught a poorly planned curriculum. As a result, they do not develop the full range of knowledge that they need in order to be ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils who need extra help, such as those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), or those who struggle with reading, do not receive the right support to help them to achieve well. Pupils are happy. They attend well. They are kind and polite. They play well together on the playground. However, some pupils do not demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. The behaviour of some pupils can be distracting for others in lessons. Bullying is rare. There are effective systems in place to deal with bullying if it happens. Pupils say that adults will always help them if they need it. Clubs, such as dance and art, help pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils understand how to live healthy lifestyles and learn to play a range of different sports. Recently, some pupils have been given the opportunity to represent their school in sporting competitions with other schools in the local area.
