This is a good school Following a decline in performance, the governing body acted decisively to take the action required to improve the school. They continue to provide effective support and challenge.

The recently appointed headteacher has demonstrated unstinting commitment to school improvement and has been supported in doing so by an able senior leadership team. The local authority has successfully managed a period of change at the school and continues to successfully support the headteacher and other leaders. School leaders carefully monitor the quality of teaching, learning and assessment across the curriculum.

Pupils are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain, as they don't have a well-rounded understanding of the nature of our multicultural society.

Pupils' learning and progress are less secure in some foundation subjects. Teaching is not routinely adapted to suit the specific learning needs of different groups of pupils.
