Leaders and school staff are motivated and determined to make improvements. The school is ambitious to raise pupils’ achievement. There is a more focused approach to the teaching of early reading. There is greater emphasis on identifying gaps in pupils’ knowledge in English and mathematics and on addressing these gaps. However, many of the school’s intended improvements to the curriculum and quality of education are still at the planning stage and have not been introduced and realised. The current curriculum remains narrow and does not support pupils to develop strong knowledge and skills across a wide range of subjects. Provision for pupils’ wider development has improved substantially since the previous inspection. Pupils now attend extra-curricular clubs during the school day. These include chess, weaving and learning to play the keyboard. Pupils are encouraged to care for others and to contribute actively to the school and local community. For example, pupils run a tuckshop, help with litter picking and visit residents at a local care home for the elderly. Pupils are safe and happy here. Older pupils lead performances for younger pupils to encourage appropriate behaviour. Pupils’ conduct has improved. Pupils behave responsibly. They treat each other with courtesy and respect.
