There have been changes and challenges during recent times for leaders and governors to manage. Leaders’ lack of focus on the quality of education means that they have failed to identify the weaknesses that exist. Despite this, staff feel valued and trusted. They enjoy working at the school. Pupils talk enthusiastically about taking part in the wide variety of clubs and activities. They appreciate the ‘tree of values’, which they say helps to celebrate pupils’ successes. Most parents and carers who gave a view say that staff help to create a friendly, caring atmosphere. Most pupils feel happy in school. They are confident that their teachers will help them with any friendship or bullying issues. However, some pupils and parents say that there are some pupils who behave unkindly to others. Weaknesses in leadership have led to some pupils receiving an inadequate quality of education. There are inconsistencies across the school which leaders have not identified or acted on. The help that disadvantaged pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive is not organised well. Expectations are not high enough for these pupils. Some pupils do not have the support and guidance they need to learn the curriculum successfully.
