School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have created a positive learning culture within the staff team by sharing responsibilities, increasing accountability and giving staff ownership of systems and routines. As a result, staff morale is high and together you take collective responsibility for pupils’ outcomes. Pupils make good progress and achieve standards which are above the national average and are improving each year. The school’s greatest challenge at present is to sustain its high standards and continue improving while managing a period of staffing instability. Consequently you are keen to further develop the new team leader roles. These leadership positions are critical in effectively supporting the new teachers in school and continuing to improve the quality of teaching. At the previous inspection, leaders were challenged to improve the provision for early years, both inside and out, so that there were increased opportunities for children to develop their knowledge and skills. In response, governors have invested in development of the outdoor area and in providing a wider range of general resources throughout the provision. Coupled with the focus on training for staff in the early years, this has resulted in a more purposeful learning environment where children are producing a higher standard of work. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard at the end of Reception has increased as a consequence.
