The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You, your leadership team and governors share a clear vision that every child should reach his or her full potential. You work closely with your capable leaders to drive forward improvements to promote effective teaching and a stimulating curriculum. As a consequence, your school provides a happy and exciting place in which pupils can learn. When they leave Blackhorse Primary at the end of Year 6, they are well prepared for the next stage of their education. In 2017, the proportions of pupils achieving the expected standards by the end of key stage 2 were higher than national figures in reading, writing and mathematics. Your commitment to providing a rich and rounded education can be seen in the wide range of enrichment activities and extra-curricular clubs on offer to pupils. Parents are very positive about the diversity of the enrichment programme, which has activities ranging from ‘survival skills’ to ‘mindfulness’. Most pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, take part in at least one of the numerous clubs on offer, broadening their experiences and skills extremely well. Pupils praise the enthusiasm of their teachers in making learning interesting, typically commenting that, ‘It’s the best thing about this school.’ You have created a culture, shared by your staff, to continually look for ways to improve the quality of the education. An example of this is the new approach to teaching reading skills to enable more pupils to reach a high standard at the end of key stage 2. The positive impact of the new approach is evident, as pupils are making faster progress. However, you are aware that there is more to do in this respect.
