You have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Pupils are enthusiastic about their school. They enjoy the broad range of activities in which they are involved and say that school is fun. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are polite and welcoming, treating adults and each other with courtesy and respect. The school encourages pupils to show care and consideration for others. Pupils demonstrate this in a number of ways. A good example is the pupils in Year 6 who have organised a book club that inspires younger children to read. Pupils feel valued and know that the headteacher listens to them. They can talk about the impact of the school council, for example, in obtaining more play equipment for breaktimes. Parents are very happy with the school, praising your hard work and dedication. Parents value the friendly, inclusive nature of the school. They describe it as a kind, patient and considerate place to be. Parents like the wide curriculum on offer and say that their children are happy to attend. A small number of parents said that they would appreciate more information about the progress their children are making. The staff are proud to work at the school. They are confident that leaders do all they can to ensure that the school has a motivated, respected and effective teaching team. Staff have confidence in your leadership. You have maintained and built on the strengths identified in the last inspection. With your team, you have addressed the recommendations to improve aspects of teaching and to develop the role of subject leaders. The teaching of phonics and mathematics has improved since the last inspection. The way that teachers plan and assess pupils’ work has been sharpened. As a result, pupils have more regular opportunities to demonstrate their understanding in both mathematics and phonics. This enables teachers to have a better idea of what pupils know and can do. You use this information well to track closely the progress that pupils make. You hold regular meetings with teachers to plan for pupils who need additional help. As a result, pupils make good progress in phonics and mathematics. Since the last inspection, you have developed middle leadership. The previous deputy headteacher and the current subject leaders have made a significant contribution to the school’s continued success. The decision not to maintain the deputy headteacher post when the last postholder left has introduced new opportunities for middle leaders. A good example of this is the increased involvement subject leaders now have in school improvement activities. As a result, subject leadership makes a better impact on the quality of education that pupils receive. Pupils have continued to attain well since the last inspection. By the end of Year 6, pupils reach standards that are above average in all areas. You are successfully addressing the fact that some pupils do not make as much progress in writing as they do in reading and mathematics. You have improved the way that you and your staff track the progress pupils make. Pupils talk confidently about the feedback they receive and how this helps them to improve. This information is used well to inform the next steps in teaching, learning and assessment. However, this information is not used sufficiently to inform the school’s self-evaluation. Consequently, you and your governors are too reliant on national data to tell you the areas of performance that need to improve. Safeguarding is effective. Pupils feel well cared for by staff and value the help they receive with their learning. They say that bullying and unkindness are very rare, and that teachers will always sort out their problems. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Systems to ensure that all adults have been checked and received the training they need are efficient and managed well. A good example of this is the thorough safeguarding training given to all new volunteers to ensure what they need to do to keep children safe. Attendance has remained good since the last inspection. It is higher than the national average and persistent absence is low.
