The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You, together with governors, identify the main priorities for improvement and involve all staff in working towards them. You have high aspirations for your pupils and expect them to achieve well. You and the senior leadership team consider how best to modify the curriculum and teaching methods to meet the needs of your pupils and maintain above-average standards. For example, you have introduced a whole-school approach to mathematics to better develop pupils’ mastery of mathematical concepts and you have established a consistent approach to the teaching of spelling, with a positive effect on improving pupils’ writing. Parents and carers are very positive about the school’s work. They value the way in which the school nurtures their children academically and personally. This is verified by this typical parental comment: ‘My children are excited to go to school every day and enjoy the challenges and achievements each day brings.’ Parents appreciate the strong community feel within the school and the links with the local community. You have rightly identified ways to widen the curriculum to deepen pupils’ understanding of the cultural diversity of British society and of people and places further afield.
