The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and your deputy headteachers lead Dorset Road Infant School and a nearby primary school. Both schools are part of The Spring Partnership Trust (the Trust). The Trust supports your leadership by helping you address the school’s improvement priorities effectively. This ensures greater consistency in the quality of education at Dorset Road Infant School. Leaders work hard to create a strong family ethos where all adults know pupils well. Parents comment very favourably on this approach. Senior leaders also support middle leaders well and help them to develop their roles effectively. Middle leaders speak positively of the professional development they receive and its impact on their work. Middle leaders find working with their partnership school particularly beneficial because it enables them to share ideas and moderate standards of pupils’ work. The local governing body works closely with school leaders and the Trust. Governors receive high-quality information from leaders. As a result, they know the school and its priorities well. Governors hold leaders to account robustly through their meetings, close analysis of information and visits to school. Members of the Trust also rigorously hold governors to account through regular meetings and scrutiny of documents.
