The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Under your strong leadership, there is an ambitious vision, team spirit and a drive for continual improvement. A culture of professional learning is very evident. Staff are committed to researching new and effective ways to help pupils to learn well. They value the opportunities that they have to learn from each other and from effective practice in other schools, locally and nationally. This was summed up well by one member of staff, who said, ‘I love working at a school that encourages a love of learning for staff as well as pupils.’ Staff and governors model the values that are at the heart of the school – a passion for learning, in a school that cares. Parents hold the school in high regard. They appreciate the strong ‘family atmosphere’ and the core values that underpin school life. Comments from parents included: ‘We chose the school because children have time to grow here while working hard. That’s very special.’ At the last inspection you were given recommendations to: develop the role of subject leaders extend the thorough systems for checking pupils’ progress to all subjects. You have forged ahead in both of these areas. Subject leaders are involved in regular monitoring activities, including pupil progress meetings and learning walks.
