Cherry Lane Primary School is currently graded as 'Requires Improvement' in all areas, following a first inspection since the Covid-19 pandemic. The school has notable strengths in fostering a safe environment where pupils feel comfortable reporting concerns, as well as offering a variety of extracurricular activities that promote community involvement. However, there are significant areas requiring attention, particularly in curriculum design and implementation, which has resulted in insufficient knowledge development for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
