Two Moors Primary School is performing well overall, with a strong emphasis on personal development and an effective safeguarding culture that keeps pupils safe. The school has structured its curriculum to promote character, confidence, and resilience among pupils, preparing them for future success while fostering respect for diverse beliefs and cultures. Despite these strengths, particularly in early years education, the school faces challenges in academic performance, especially for disadvantaged pupils, whose progress has been slow and inconsistent. Several areas, including writing and attendance rates, need urgent attention, particularly for disadvantaged learners who are not achieving expected levels in key subjects.
