Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an inadequate school Teachers do not use information about what pupils can and cannot do to plan learning to meet pupils' individual needs well enough. Over time, pupils' attainment at the expected standard has been broadly in line with the national average.

However, from their above average starting points, this represents considerable underachievement for many pupils. The early years leaders have an inaccurate understanding of children's starting points. This means that subsequent planning is not sufficiently well matched to children's abilities.

As a result, children do not make the speedy progress of which they are capable. Subject leaders have not... had access to the professional development needed for them to undertake their roles effectively. Teachers' expectations of what pupils can achieve are too low.

Too often, pupils do not finish their work, improve their spelling and grammar or present their work well. Although pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well cared for, the targets set for their progress are weak. This means that leaders are unable to measure the progress they make effectively.

Pupils' outcomes in subjects across the wider curriculum are poor. This is because pupils do not develop detailed knowledge and skills in a range of subjects. Subject leaders do not identify how pupils' subject-specific knowledge and skills will build over time.

Improvement plans are not sharply focused enough on the desired gains in pupils' outcomes for them to be evaluated effectively. The school has the following strengths Pupils enjoy the many experiences that are offered to them. Young leaders embrace their additional responsibilities to look after the youngest children, and to organise lunchtime activities.

The vast majority of parents and carers are positive about the school. They feel that their children are safe and happy. Although subject leaders lack the capacity to improve their areas of responsibility, the headteacher has accurately identified the correct priorities for improvement.

Safeguarding arrangements are effective. Staff know the important role they play in keeping pupils safe. The designated safeguarding leader ensures that any concerns are referred quickly.

Information about this school

The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The headteacher and the chair of the governing body were appointed in September 2018, following retirements of the longstanding headteacher and previous chair. The proportion of children who are disadvantaged is smaller than the national average, as is the proportion of pupils with SEND.
