The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Your commitment and vision have had a significant impact on the continued improvements at Greswold Primary School. You share leadership responsibilities well with senior and middle leaders. They make a vital contribution to the quality of education for pupils. You are extremely well supported by a shrewd and knowledgeable governing body. Leaders at all levels have an accurate view of the most important priorities and continually focus on improvement. Staff feel supported and motivated to further develop their teaching. As a result, pupils are achieving well and enjoying school. You and your team have a clear set of values which reflect the school’s positive and productive ethos. Pupils know and understand the values of ‘belonging’, ‘respect’, ‘independence’, ‘curiosity’, ‘kindness’ and ‘success’. One pupil explained: ‘Curiosity is when you want to find out more which will really help you in your learning.’ Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school’s ethos and the quality of education provided for their children. Their comments included: ‘My child has been here for six years and has never once said she does not want to come to school. Staff are great and educationally, my child thrives.’ You and the staff have good relationships with pupils and know them as individuals. As a result, pupils’ personal development is well catered for. Staff work hard to provide pupils with a well-rounded education that is extremely well supported by wide-ranging enrichment activities. Pupils enjoy their Friday reward time when they choose additional activities such as computing, sport, reading, art or time in the library. The school council has raised all pupils’ awareness of different charities. Council members are proud of raising thousands of pounds to support a charity providing education in Africa. The range of equipment and activities on offer at lunchtime captures pupils’ enthusiasm. During the inspection, pupils enthusiastically introduced the founder of the ‘Greswold Times’ to the inspector. This is the school newspaper written and produced by pupils. Staff also plan a range of exciting residential trips, including a visit to France for Year 6 pupils. As a result of the enrichment programme, pupils are happy, confident and proud of their school. Your school improvement plan is precise and targets appropriate priorities. You develop the plan in close collaboration with staff and pupils. Consequently, they feel valued and have a clear understanding of the direction of the school. There is a child-friendly version of the priorities on display for pupils to see. You receive a high level of challenge and support from the governing body. Governors are astute and skilled. They contribute well to the ongoing review and improvement of school policies. For example, they have worked with you to ensure that staff’s performance management targets are even more precise and measurable. The local authority also provides effective support. You have successfully addressed the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection. Teachers provide greater stretch for pupils in their learning, particularly in mathematics and reading. Pupils are motivated by the different challenge tasks that are appropriately matched to their needs. You have also ensured that there is a greater focus on stretching the most able pupils. In 2017 at the end of Year 6, the proportion of pupils who reached the expected and higher standards in reading and mathematics was greater than that seen nationally. You recognise that writing standards by the end of Year 6 are not as high and require further development. You have ensured that inconsistencies in teaching in lower key stage 2 are no longer prominent. Experienced teachers are placed across different year groups so that they can support the development of other teachers. Staff also benefit from sharing best practice and learning from one another. The deputy headteacher and other teachers work together to analyse assessment information and put in place successful additional support for pupils who need to catch up. Your curriculum is thoughtful and interesting. Pupils enjoy learning about the world through creative activities. For example, they made Greek masks when learning about the myth ‘Theseus and the Minotaur’. They also performed a play about ‘Boudicca’s Revolt’ when learning about the Romans. Pupils also learn a wide range of musical instruments. Year 4 pupils learn to play a brass instrument and perform as a brass band to an audience. Pupils develop effective skills, knowledge and understanding across a range of subjects.
