A city infant school has been told it needs to improve by education watchdog Ofsted - despite earning praise for its pupils' behaviour.

Angel Road Infant School in Norwich, which since the start of the school year has shared its site with its neighbouring junior school, has been rated as "requires improvement" by the regulator.

The rating comes despite inspectors describing pupils as feeling "happy and safe" and praising the school's work in supporting newly-settled Ukrainian families.

The site was visited by inspectors over two days in September, who rated the school as good in three out of five categories overall.

But they raised concerns about how well pupils and teachers have adjusted to recent changes in the curriculum brought about by a change of leadership at the schools.

The report states: "In reading and mathematics, the curriculum is clearly sequenced and teachers have a clear understanding of what will be taught and when.

"The content in other curriculum areas is not complete."

Inspectors added that the school "still has some work to do" to prepare reception children for progressing into year one.

Lynsey Holzer, chief executive of the Evolution Academy Trust, which runs the school, said she was pleased with the areas that had been rated good - behaviour, personal development and leadership.

She said: "While quality of education received a requires improvement grade overall, it was noted in the inspection that as leadership was graded as good, the right actions were in place to secure a future good in all areas as an overall result.

"The curriculum under the new leadership at the school is new to the school and will lead to rapid strengthening. This is also recognised in the report.

"We are proud of the school and we are grateful to have such talented and dedicated leaders and staff working on behalf of this wonderful community."

Since the beginning of the school year, children from Angel Road Junior School have also been taught on the site, with a full merger between the two looking likely in future.

It came after the junior school building was controversially closed more than a year ago.
