Pupils who attend Meppershall Church of England Academy do not receive a good quality of education. Staff expectations about how pupils should behave are too low. Adults are not using the newly agreed behaviour policy. Many staff ignore poor behaviour regularly. Too many pupils do not listen to or follow instructions given by teachers and other adults. When this happens, adults do not remind pupils of the agreed expectations. Pupils do not routinely show an interest in what they are learning. This is because the quality of their education is weak. Staff do not have high enough expectations about how well pupils should achieve. Parents and carers have mixed feelings about how effective the school is. Some parents do not understand why changes are taking place and think behaviour is an issue. Others, mostly with children in the Reception class, are positive about how their children have settled into school and believe changes are improving the school. Pupils feel safe at school because they know all the staff care about them. Pupils report that staff talk to and help them if they are worried about anything. This is especially the case if pupils are concerned about being bullied. Pupils said bullying is rare.
