Pupils, and children in the early years, have been let down at this school. They do not receive the quality of education that they are entitled to or deserve. Leaders do not take all of the actions that they should to keep pupils safe. Despite these weaknesses, pupils are happy at school. They enjoy spending time with their friends and they get on well with staff. Leaders have not set high expectations for pupils’ achievement. Pupils suffer from a curriculum that lacks ambition. Too frequently, older pupils in mixed-age classes receive work that is more suited to their younger classmates. Across the school, pupils underachieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those in the early years. For most of the time, pupils behave well. For example, they walk around school sensibly. Children in the early years learn to share toys and resources. However, on occasions some pupils do not follow the expectations set by their teachers. This usually happens when the work that that they receive does not meet their needs or interests. Leaders take swift action to address any bullying behaviour should it ever occur. Pupils enjoy the trips and visits that leaders provide. For example, older pupils look forward to their residential stay in York. Pupils enjoyed the pantomime at a local theatre. However, there are very few activities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. This limits pupils’ development beyond the academic curriculum.
