The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have inspired your school community and as a result, pupils thrive, achieve well and enjoy their learning. Your leadership team is well informed and passionate about the school. You say in your school vision statement that you ‘try to create an atmosphere of welcome, compassion and acceptance to all who enter our school’. You have achieved this aim and you are not complacent. You have ambitious expectations for each pupil and each member of staff. You and your team are role models of good practice for the staff. Teachers are dedicated, committed and ambitious for the pupils. Your governing body is a strength of the school. Governors are well trained and informed. They support you and hold you and your staff to account. They have a depth of relevant experience and are proud of the school and ambitious for its future. In every lesson I visited, the dedication of the staff to the learning of your pupils was clearly evident. Books are of a high quality and pupils are proud of what they do. Displays are imaginative and thoughtful, showing pupils what they have learned and helping them become curious about reading, writing and mathematics. You have a well-stocked library at the front of the school, which makes it easy for pupils to browse more frequently, talk about their books and enjoy reading. At the heart of the school is what you call a ‘sacred space’, for pupils to have a quiet moment or to pray. Outside, you have plenty of play areas that invite pupils to use their imagination and take part in construction activities. You even have a yurt next to the playground where pupils can go at break-times if they want to spend some time quietly and safely, listening to music, talking and playing team games. Pupils told me how proud they were of attending the school. One said, ‘It’s fine to make a mistake here. The teachers reassure you. That’s how you get even better.’ Parents are also pleased with the education their children receive. Typical of the comments in Parent View was this one: ‘I can see how much both of my children love this school and how much of a positive difference the school makes in their lives.’ The school is oversubscribed because you have built and maintained a positive reputation in the local community. You have secured improvements since the last inspection, when you were asked to attend to a number of issues. For example, you were asked to make sure that all teachers react promptly in lessons to pupils’ errors and misunderstandings, especially in mathematics. This is now much improved. I saw, in pupils’ books and during lessons, teachers quickly helping pupils when they encountered difficulty. This has been particularly successful with pupils who have special education needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. These pupils’ progress throughout the school is good because teachers’ plans and resources help them overcome errors in their work. You have reviewed the way you teach mathematics and improved the way your teachers help pupils with problem solving and mathematical reasoning. As a result, pupils in all year groups make good progress in mathematics. You were also asked to challenge more able pupils by giving them harder, more open-ended work, and you have had success here for most pupils through improving levels of challenge. But higher ability disadvantaged pupils made less good progress in reading and we addressed this in our discussions. Current pupils are now doing much better, enjoying their reading and reading more widely. You were also asked to maximise the time pupils in all lessons spend working independently. I saw pupils right through the school taking up opportunities to work without direct instruction by teachers. For example, pupils said that they found homework to be generally helpful and regularly set. This enables them to think for themselves and to ask for help when they need it.
