Shropshire school 'showing improvement'
A school in Shropshire has shown improvements in its latest Ofsted inspection, according to a new report.
Dawley Church of England Primary School, in Doseley Road North, was rated "inadequate" by Ofsted inspectors following an inspection in December 2013.
But following another inspection in December last year, inspectors said it was an "improving school" and rated it as "requiring improvement".
A newly published report said: "This is an improving school.
"The governors have ensured that teaching has improved despite recent turbulence in leadership and teaching stability.
"Increasing numbers of children now reach a good level of development at the end of the reception year and are well prepared for year one."
It said reading was taught well and "robust safeguarding systems" ensure that pupils are kept safe.
But the report also added that over time, not all pupils make good progress or reach the levels of attainment they are capable of.
Inspectors said pupils' attainment in year six in 2015 was significantly below average in all subjects and senior leaders have not always tackled weaker practice quickly enough.
It said: "While the progress of current pupils is improving, it is still not consistently good in writing and mathematics across all year groups.
"Although teaching has improved recently, the quality of teaching is inconsistent, particularly in writing and mathematics.
"Pupils do not always conduct themselves well. Leaders do not always insist on good behaviour from all pupils or have effective systems in place to support this."
