Pupils who attend Wenlock Junior School do not receive a good quality of education. Pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding which are not identified. Consequently, pupils do not make sufficient progress and are not prepared well for the next stages of their education. When pupils start in Year 3, their reading skills are not checked rigorously. This means that some pupils continue to struggle with their reading. These pupils find other areas of the curriculum hard to access. Pupils are kind and respectful towards each other. Most pupils behave well at breaktimes. They follow instructions and play happily with one another. However, during lesson times, pupils’ attitudes towards their learning can be indifferent. When pupils lose interest, because learning is too easy or too tricky, they do not persevere. There are too many occasions when pupils busy themselves with other activities rather than continue with their work. Pupils feel safe and do not consider that bullying is a problem. Pupils are confident that staff will help them if they have any worries or concerns. Parents typically say that they appreciate the care the school provides for their children.
