School Description

This friendly, inclusive school has been through a difficult time. There have been many changes in leadership and staffing since the last inspection. This turbulence has affected the quality of education. Leaders know that the curriculum is not well planned in subjects such as science and mathematics. Also, there is variability in the quality of phonics teaching. The new headteacher has worked successfully with the deputy headteacher to create a strong staff team. There is a shared commitment to improve the school. Leaders and staff have high aspirations and ambitions for pupils. They want to give every pupil the best possible start to their education. Leaders’ vision to ‘learn, grow and shine’ is at the heart of the school’s work. I saw good behaviour in lessons and around school. The new behaviour policy has supported a consistent approach across the school. Leaders use exclusions as a last resort. Most pupils and parents and carers say that behaviour has improved over time. Pupils know what bullying is. They say that adults help them when they have concerns. Pupils enjoy strong relationships with the adults who teach them. Pupils are proud of their responsibilities, such as those of house captains, school council members and buddies. Pupils say they enjoy school. They take part in a wide range of sporting and musical activities.
