The quality of education is improving but not yet good. There is a strong staff team who are working well to improve the standard of education. Pupils have not learned well enough in the past. Leaders are addressing the gaps in pupils’ knowledge. Pupils are now learning more. They are doing better in mathematics and writing. Some of leaders’ other changes are new. It is too soon to see the impact. Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and nurturing school. They say that behaviour has improved a lot recently. Pupils have good attitudes to their learning and work hard. They feel safe and are confident that adults listen if they have any worries. Pupils told us that bullying does not happen, because everyone looks after each other. Parents, carers and pupils note the many improvements to the school since the new executive head teacher started in January 2019. School values are central to everything. Staff have high expectations. Pupils learn to be respectful and responsible. They enjoy extra responsibilities, such as becoming a ‘school minister’. The weekly ‘talking lunches’ with staff help pupils build their confidence. Pupils persevere with challenging work. In lessons and at breaktimes, they behave well. Their attendance is improving.
