A Liverpool primary school has been ordered to shape up by education officials.
National inspection body Ofsted has deemed that Four Oaks Primary School in Anfield “requires improvement” from its leadership to the quality of education. A report into an inspection of the school in February by Ofsted officials has revealed the findings.
The report into the school, which was built a decade ago, said pupils’ learning had been hampered by a “previously poorly planned curriculum” and as a result, they “struggle to recall important knowledge and they have gaps in their learning, particularly in key stage 2.” The inspection delivered a withering assessment of the school’s leadership, saying it had “not defined what children need to know in each area of the early years curriculum” and consequently, “adults do not provide sufficient support to help children to build up the knowledge that they need to achieve well."
