Old Dalby Church of England Primary School is performing well overall, achieving a 'Good' rating in key areas such as the quality of education, behaviour, and personal development. The inclusive and caring environment promotes positive behaviour among students, enhancing their engagement in lessons. The curriculum is well sequenced, and leaders have made significant improvements since the last inspection. However, the early years provision requires improvement, with challenges in providing meaningful learning opportunities for young children. There are also concerns regarding the support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), who may not be making sufficient progress due to inadequate adaptations in teaching.
