The quality of pupils’ learning in different subjects and year groups is too variable. Some subjects are not planned well enough for pupils to learn all that they should. However, pupils get off to a good start in mathematics and reading, including in the early years foundation stage. Sometimes, pupils’ poor behaviour is not dealt with swiftly enough by staff. However, all staff welcome the new approaches to managing behaviour, which are now beginning to make a difference. Most pupils behave well and work hard. They feel safe, love the school and attend regularly. Pupils know how to report bullying, should it occur, and they say that teachers are good at dealing with it. Any pupils with particularly challenging behaviour are given support in the classroom and at playtime. Parents and pupils have welcomed the actions the new headteacher has taken to improve the school. They say the school is improving well. Staff also agree. They have confidence in leaders, and morale among the school team is good. Parents find staff approachable and value the ‘family feel’ of the school.
