Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a school that requires improvement Since the last inspection, school improvement has been slow. Although improvement is now taking place quickly, the quality of education overall is not yet good. Over time, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in mathematics, reading and writing by the end of Year 2 is broadly in line with national averages.

Currently, however, not all pupils in key stage 1 are making strong progress from their typical starting points. The quality of teaching in Years 1 and 2 across subjects is not consistently good. Some teachers' expectations of what pupils can achieve are too low.

Work is not well matched to pupil...s' varying abilities. Tasks too often lack challenge, particularly for the most able pupils. Teachers do not use effectively assessment information about what pupils know and can do.

They do not plan pupils' next steps in learning accurately. Pupils, including the most able, are not moved on promptly to acquire new knowledge or concepts. At times, low-level disruption ensues when tasks and learning do match pupils' needs and interests.

This slows progress for some pupils. The curriculum does not enable pupils to develop a deep knowledge or understanding of religious and cultural diversity. Several middle leaders are new to their posts.

Some are still developing the skills needed to make a fully effective contribution to checking the school's work in their area of responsibility. The school has the following strengths The executive headteacher and the deputy have accurately identified and are effectively addressing areas that require improvement. As a result of effective leadership over time and strengths in teaching and learning, most children make strong progress in early years.

Safeguarding is effective. Vulnerable pupils and their families are well supported. Most pupils behave well and show positive attitudes to learning.

Attendance is good. Relationships with parents are strong. Parents acknowledge recent improvements.

Governance is effective. Governors have capitalised on the benefits of being federated with the junior school. They check that change is leading to improved outcomes for pupils.
