The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Pupils continue to learn and achieve well. They benefit from a curriculum that makes a strong contribution to their love of learning and personal development. The school places great emphasis on its mission to be ‘opening up a world of opportunities’ for pupils. Pupils have frequent opportunities to find out about the wider world as they visit new places and enjoy different experiences. You and your deputy have built a team that is constantly striving for excellence. You both know the school very well and lead it with energy and a clear sense of purpose. Governors are proud of the school and share your ambition. An external review of governance, which was carried out in March 2017, indicated that governors offer effective challenge to leaders within the school. This view was supported by the inspection findings. You ensure that governors are kept well informed about the strengths of the school and the priorities for future development. Parents and carers appreciate the close relationships that exist between the school and families. They are particularly appreciative of the home-school link worker who supports families when necessary. They said that she is exceptionally approachable and they see her as an asset to the school. Teachers have ensured that pupils’ interests are stimulated by the vibrant and immaculate learning environment. High-quality displays celebrate pupils’ achievements across all areas of the curriculum. Learning walls in classrooms provide pupils with resources that they are able to use most effectively to enhance their work. The pupils I spoke to said that they enjoy coming to school. This is reflected in their good attendance. Pupils’ behaviour is a strength of the school, as they are courteous and caring towards one another. They come to lessons expecting to work hard. As a result, they make the most of the many opportunities that are afforded to them by the school. Since the last inspection, you have focused particularly on developing the quality of teaching and learning and building a team of effective middle and senior leaders. The staff are provided with clear feedback about their teaching. This feedback, along with the training and professional development they receive, means that teachers are able put the changes you plan into action effectively. Further work is needed to improve the quality of writing across the school, so that achievement in writing matches achievement in reading and mathematics. Leaders have identified this as a priority for development and have strategies in place to address this. Safeguarding is effective. You give safeguarding a high priority, and a strong safeguarding culture runs through the school. Staff are knowledgeable about potential risks to children’s well-being. They are very clear about the school’s procedures for reporting any concerns they have regarding the safeguarding of pupils. Staff record information carefully, so that a picture can be built up over time for each pupil. Weekly safeguarding meetings are held, which ensures that pupils’ needs and circumstances are known very well to those responsible for their welfare. The deputy headteacher attends the monthly local authority forums to ensure that she is kept up to date and well informed about best practice. The school’s safeguarding procedures are regularly quality assured by a member of the governing body who has suitable expertise. Pupils said that they feel safe in school. The curriculum provides them with important information about keeping safe and healthy. For example, on the day of the inspection Year 6 pupils were participating in a drug awareness workshop led by the local authority drug education team. Pupils also spoke to me about the importance of internet safety, and they are fully aware of the dangers of sharing personal information when using computers or mobile telephones.
