School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the previous inspection. You lead the school with unwavering commitment to ensuring that the quality of education provided continues to improve. Your high expectations have contributed to the effective performance of the school’s work over time. Pupils arrive at school smart, cheerful and eager to learn: they put into practice the school’s motto, ‘If you can, you must’. Some of the pupils enjoy school so much that they express a desire to have more lessons and a longer school day. Parents are hugely appreciative of the school’s work. Comments such as ‘amazing leaders’, ‘dedicated team’ and ‘my child loves going to school’ typify their views. Your senior staff support you well. Their positive impact on the quality of teaching, assessment and the curriculum demonstrate their capacity to bring about further improvements. All staff who responded to the Ofsted questionnaire said that they are proud to work at the school. The governing body provides effective challenge, and governors are tenacious in checking on the effectiveness of actions taken to improve the school. For example, they make sure that pupils receive the right support that they need when they need it.
