Sir John Moore Church of England Primary School has been rated as 'Good' overall, a drop from its previous rating of 'Outstanding' from 2009. The school has not undergone an inspection in ten years, which has allowed some changes in effectiveness to go unnoticed. While the majority of the school environment is positive and engaging, with pupils demonstrating strong behaviour and high levels of pride in their school, the curriculum has had inconsistencies, particularly in phonics instruction and certain subjects. Leaders are actively addressing these areas, and students' personal development is cultivated through a focus on resilience and teamwork.
