What the school should improve
- Although attendance is improving, it is not yet good enough. Some pupils are missing a good quality of education and the wider opportunities that the school offers. Leaders must make sure that the management of attendance is appropriately staffed, that the most vulnerable families receive the support and challenge needed and that the number of pupils persistently absent reduces.
- The headteacher is completing too many jobs in school. This takes him away from the more strategic roles. Leaders, including governors, must ensure that there is a robust leadership structure in place, that leadership tasks are appropriately delegated and that they are expertly conducted.
