A primary school in Wigan has been told it needs to improve the quality of education and get children reading earlier following an Ofsted inspection.
Lowton Junior and Infant School has dropped its rating from a ‘Good’ to a ‘Requires Improvement’ (RI) after the inspection at the beginning of January. This was the first full inspection in 10 years when the Newton Road site was rated as ‘Good’ - something they maintained in 2017 following a short inspection.
Headteacher Joanne Sutcliffe told parents in a letter she was ‘delighted’ that one category - behaviour and attitudes - was awarded a ‘Good’.
