The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have led the school effectively and decisively through a period of recent change and challenge. Since the previous inspection, you have managed staff changes and the changes to the leadership team well. You have taken this opportunity to strengthen your staff team. Those staff who did not meet your high expectations have left the school. One member of staff commented, ‘We all work as a team. Everyone supports each other so that the pupils get the best deal.’ However, you do not rest on your laurels. For example, you take the feedback from parents, pupils and outside agencies seriously and use the information to develop the school’s policies and practice further. In collaboration with Dudley local authority, you have extended the school’s provision to include key stage 2. There are currently five pupils across Years 5 and 6. All of the pupils are making good or better progress from their starting points across a range of subjects including reading, writing, mathematics and science. In addition, these pupils’ attendance and behaviour is improving. However, while the accommodation for key stage 2 pupils is safe and secure, you rightly recognise that the school needs to make improvements to the room’s lighting and acoustics with some urgency. Your and your staff’s determination to provide the best education possible for pupils who have had a difficult or disrupted education permeates all that the school does.
