You and your leadership team have successfully maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since your appointment in 2013, you acted quickly and prioritised the structure of your senior leadership team to provide a more effective model of leadership for your school, including the leadership of English and mathematics. You appointed a new deputy headteacher in 2014 and restructured your leadership team in 2015. As a result, leadership and management have improved. You have successfully managed a transitional period of growth for the school in terms of both the increased number of pupils and the extension of the school buildings. You have strategically developed systems and processes to allow you and your senior leaders to identify correctly areas of the school that need improvement and to support and improve performance in those areas. Your determination and passion for continual improvement have ensured that leadership at all levels is focused on the progress of pupils. As a result, outcomes for pupils have been strong, overall, since the last inspection, with some variation from year to year. Governance is a real strength of the school. Governors are very knowledgeable, committed and provide robust challenge and support to leaders at all levels. There is strong capacity in the school’s leadership to achieve the improvements that you aspire to, in order to become an outstanding school. You and your leadership team have successfully tackled the areas for improvement identified in the last inspection report. At the last inspection, you were asked to increase the proportion of good or better teaching. You acted swiftly, and with resilience, to eradicate any weak teaching. You also focused strongly on staff development and sharing good practice, not only within your school but also through effective collaborations with other schools. You have created a very strong culture of teamwork among your staff, who value and support your drive for improvements in teaching and learning. You and your senior leaders regularly monitor the quality of teaching and have put in place effective monitoring systems and procedures to support further improvement. As a result, all teaching across the school is now strong. At the last inspection you were also asked to ensure that the leaders of English and mathematics have the opportunities to find out how good teaching and learning is in lessons and find out what to improve further. You ensured that the leaders of these areas had the appropriate professional development and provided time for them to effectively monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching and learning in their respective areas. Consequently, the quality of teaching and learning has improved and the outcomes for current pupils in the school in reading, writing and mathematics are improving. Safeguarding is effective. You have ensured that there is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school. You lead an extensive safeguarding team who know the pupils very well, and you have made certain that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. The school has effective referral procedures, and leaders take action swiftly and monitor impact closely. You recently introduced an electronic system for recording safeguarding concerns and staff have greatly welcomed it. Consequently, the school tracks and shares information with external agencies effectively and in a timely way. You have ensured that staff and governors receive appropriate training in child protection and you and your team ensure that you carry out appropriate checks on the suitability of all staff who work with pupils. Pupils say that bullying does not happen very often, but when it does, teachers and leaders tackle it quickly. Pupils also report that they feel safe, know who to go to if they have any concerns and are confident that staff will deal effectively with any problems. Pupils value the support they receive from staff and the way they are encouraged to look after not only their physical health but also their emotional and mental health. The relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. As a result, behaviour in lessons and conduct around the extremely well-kept and tidy school environment are exemplary. You have succeeded in creating a very warm and caring environment where pupils and staff feel valued and part of a team.
