St Luke’s C of E Primary has demonstrated a need for improvement across several key areas, particularly in education quality and leadership. While the school fosters a positive environment where pupils feel happy and safe, outlining strong behaviors and good personal development, the curriculum lacks coherence in certain subjects which has led to inconsistent learning outcomes. Partnerships with the trust aim to address these challenges, and efforts are being made to enhance curriculum delivery, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school is undergoing its first inspection and has faced challenges associated with the impact of the pandemic.
