Shiney Row Primary School continues to perform at a good standard, demonstrating strong leadership, an ambitious ethos, and high expectations for its pupils. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils feel safe and supported, and staff work diligently to develop leadership at all levels. The curriculum is well-structured, with particular emphasis on reading and mathematics, which have shown notable improvements in recent years. However, challenges remain with attendance, especially concerning persistently absent pupils, and the implementation of the new history curriculum, which has led to some gaps in older pupils' knowledge.
