School Description

Although pupils enjoy attending the school, they do not achieve well. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not develop the knowledge that they need in writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The quality of pupils’ education is inadequate. Until recent weeks, leaders’ and staff’s expectations of pupils have been too low. Pupils behave well. In classrooms, they listen carefully to teachers and are eager to complete their activities. Pupils take great pride in their work. They are polite and well mannered. Most parents and carers have no concerns about pupils’ behaviour at the school. The pupils that we spoke to said that they enjoy their educational trips. They said that these help their learning. Leaders have developed a wide range of after-school clubs, such as multi-skills and ‘phunky food’. Over time, leaders have prioritised these extra opportunities too much. This has been at the expense of making sure that pupils learn the subject knowledge that they need. Pupils said that they feel safe and happy at the school. They told us that bullying rarely happens. If it does happen, they are confident that teachers will sort it out.
