Surrey Primary Schools – what are the key issues when schools are not yet good
• Leadership that is not strong enough to drive improvements rapidly
• Staff turbulence and turnover – particularly at leadership level
• Underdeveloped middle leaders
• Monitoring by leadership not yet well enough developed
• Inconsistent progress across and within year groups – despite high attainment in some cases
• Underachievement of some groups particularly disadvantaged pupils
• Underdeveloped understanding of assessment by leaders and teachers
• Insufficient challenge because expectations by teachers too low in some cases
