The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school has been through a time of significant change, which has included extending the age range of the school from 4 to 9 years of age to 4 to 11, as part of the local authority’s restructuring of education provision in the area. In June of this year, you took on the role of head of school, having served as associate headteacher alongside the previous headteacher. At the start of this school year, there was also a considerable change of teaching staff. You and the governors actively sought external support to manage these changes. Rutland Learning Trust are providing bespoke mentoring, training and collaboration with other schools. You have quickly established an excellent rapport with your headteacher mentor. This support has helped you to put in place effective plans confidently and quickly to keep the school moving forward. You are held in high regard by staff, pupils, parents and governors alike. You have been highly successful in maintaining the community’s confidence in the school. You have a clear understanding of effective teaching and learning. You have combined your expertise with guidance from your headteacher mentor to accurately interpret school performance and monitoring information to put in place effective actions for improvement.
