Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a school that requires improvement Since the last inspection, the many changes in leadership and staffing have led to inconsistencies in the quality of teaching.

Until very recently leaders, did not capture and evaluate pupils' progress. Disadvantaged pupils are not making the rapid progress they need in order to catch up with other pupils nationally. Low-level disruption in some classes distracts other pupils from learning.

In 2018, pupils made less progress from the end of key stage 1 in reading, writing and mathematics than other pupils nationally. Pupils who need to catch up in reading receive variable support throughout the school. Rates of persis...tent absence, although rapidly improving, remain above those seen nationally, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

The school has the following strengths The new headteacher, ably supported by the new deputy, has taken swift action to bring about positive changes. As a result, clear improvements in teaching and pupils' progress are already evident. Safeguarding arrangements are effective.

Pupils feel safe and happy in school. Parents are supportive of the new leadership team and recognise the positive changes that have been made. Children get off to a good start because : provision in early years is good.
