The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Your vision, for all pupils to be successful and their personal, social and academic needs to be fully met, is shared by staff and governors. The school values of compassion, forgiveness, thankfulness and responsibility underpin your work. There is a welcoming and caring atmosphere in the school. You place great importance on building pupils’ confidence and nurturing their resilience. This means that pupils across the school exhibit good behaviour when learning and are keen to learn from their mistakes. A Christian ethos extends through the work of the school. The school motto, ‘Catch the Spirit’, is evident in all areas of school life. One member of staff commented, ‘The school places the pupils at the heart of decisions and strives to provide experiences and opportunities to ensure they catch the spirit.’ You place high importance on establishing strong partnerships with parents and carers. The parents I talked to commented that the school supports families well and staff are very approachable. Parents talk very positively about the work of the parental involvement worker in particular. The vast majority of parents are overwhelming positive about the school. Shine time, for example, enables parents to regularly celebrate success with their children. An area for improvement in the school’s previous inspection was to ensure that development planning has clear targets. You have ensured that the school development plan focuses on the main priorities for improvement and that all staff and governors know what these are. For example, there are a clear set of actions to ensure that the attainment gaps between boys and girls in key stage 1 continue to reduce. The incorporation of interim milestones and clear targets and success criteria into the development plan means that actions are evaluated accurately and further improvements are easily identified. This ensures that both staff and governors are very clear about the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Pupils’ very positive attitudes towards learning continue to be a strength of the school. Pupils told me that they enjoy lessons and coming to school. As a result, their attendance is above the national average. Pupils feel well supported by their teachers and teaching assistants. Pupils show respect and tolerant attitudes. One pupil told me that they are taught to treat people as they would like to be treated themselves. During visits to lessons we saw pupils engaged in learning and working well together, sharing ideas and supporting each other. Pupils are confident to ask, as well as answer, questions in class. Pupils appreciate the leadership opportunities available to them. For example, standing for head boy and head girl in school elections and supporting younger pupils through the buddy system. Pupils also appreciate the wider range of enrichment opportunities, which help pupils to develop their wider skills. As a result, pupils are well prepared for the next steps in their education. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. There is a strong culture of safeguarding. Staff understand the important role they play in keeping pupils safe. They know what signs to look out for and are alert in reporting any concerns. You ensure that staff and governors participate in a range of safeguarding training. Safeguarding training records are up to date. Referrals to outside agencies are made in a timely manner to ensure that families receive early help and support. You and governors ensure that safer recruitment procedures are followed. Vetting checks on staff meet statutory requirements. The governor with responsibility for safeguarding visits the school regularly and talks to both staff and pupils. There is a regular safeguarding agenda item at governing body meetings. As a result, there is a rigorous focus on keeping children safe. Pupils report that they feel safe in school. Pupils are taught about internet safety in assemblies and through activities within lessons. As a result, they are aware of how to keep themselves safe online. Pupils told me bullying is rare. If it does happen, pupils feel confident that it is dealt with quickly. Pupils report that there is always someone to talk to if they have any concerns.
