Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an inadequate school Senior leaders and governors have not created a strong enough culture or put in place rigorous enough systems to ensure that pupils are kept safe. For example, checks on newly appointed staff are not completed in a timely manner. Consequently, safeguarding is ineffective, including in the early years.

Leaders and governors have not made sure that every member of staff receives training in child protection, including in extremism and radicalisation. Consequently, some members of staff do not report their concerns about risks to pupils' physical and emotional well-being. Leadership arrangements for special educational needs and/or disabilitie...s (SEND) do not meet statutory requirements.

Leadership of provision for pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils lacks precision. As a result, some of these pupils do not make consistently strong progress. The most able pupils, including the most able disadvantaged pupils, do not receive consistent levels of challenge in mathematics.

Over time, the governing body has been ineffective. Governors do not have the necessary knowledge and understanding to challenge school leaders about the inadequate safeguarding arrangements at the school. They do not hold leaders sharply enough to account for the provision for pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils.

The school has the following strengths Senior and middle leaders are effective in improving the quality of teaching and learning in many areas of the curriculum. As a result, pupils enjoy learning and most achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils' behaviour is good.

They are kind, welcoming and supportive of other pupils. Teaching and learning in Reception and Nursery are strong. Children develop knowledge and skills through well-structured activities.
