The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Although you are relatively new in post as headteacher, you have used your previous successful headship experience to identify and take swift effective action to bring about necessary rapid improvements across the school. There have been significant staff changes, since the time of the last inspection and especially in the 18 months since the retirement of the long-standing headteacher. The clarity and accuracy of your school self-evaluation has enabled school leaders and staff to effectively implement wide ranging actions for improvement, including new systems for assessment, curriculum planning in mathematics and English and approaches to teaching. These have a rigorous and relentless focus on improving teaching and outcomes for all pupils. This is known and understood by all and has ensured the previous area for improvement, to increase the proportion of good teaching, is now being effectively addressed. Governors are well informed and are using this information to work closely with school leaders to monitor and challenge the school to improve pupil outcomes. In discussions, governors, staff, pupils and parents recognised there have been considerable recent improvements to pupils’ learning and progress. Evidence seen in lessons, from talking to pupils and by looking at their work, shows that strategies are having a very positive impact and pupils are now making good progress across the school. However, sometimes teachers do not ensure pupils are clear about the next steps they need to take to deepen their understanding. The school’s latest assessment figures show that pupils are currently on track to achieve challenging targets by the end of early years, key stage 1 and key stage 2. Although, yourself and the leadership team know that the most able pupils need to receive more challenge and to have the opportunity to improve and deepen their understanding, to achieve above age expectations in-line with national averages. Pupils consistently say that they are happy and enjoy school and all parents spoken to and those who responded to the Ofsted’s online survey, ParentView, agreed with this. Pupils enjoy the wide range of exciting and engaging visits, visitors and active learning experiences, including forest school activities, Bikeability Balance sessions, aspiration week, and residential visits. A previous area for improvement was to improve pupils’ use of ICT (information and communication technology) to enhance learning. The highly creative use of film by Year 6 pupils, in using green screen techniques to create powerful short stories and publish on YouTube, is an example of this being addressed. The principles of love and dignity are central to the school’s vision and are woven through all aspects of school life. There is an atmosphere of mutual respect and harmony across all aspects of the school day. Pupils are courteous and polite towards each other, adults and visitors. They are diligent in taking on roles to serve their school and community such as play buddies, monitors, school councillors, leading collective worship and fundraising. Safeguarding is effective. Safeguarding and the welfare of pupils are of the upmost importance at Holy Trinity. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. You ensure that all the appropriate vetting checks take place before an adult works at the school. You have a strong system in place for staff to report any concerns they may have regarding a child’s welfare. Your designated safeguarding lead makes sure concerns are accurately recorded and makes timely referrals to outside agencies so that pupils and their families receive the help and support they need quickly. All staff receive regular and appropriate training and demonstrate a good understanding of their responsibilities to ensure children’s safety and well-being. All parents who responded to the Ofsted online survey, Parent View, and who spoke to me on the day of the inspection and responded to a recent school questionnaire, said that their children were safe and well cared for in school. Pupils overwhelmingly say that they feel safe. Pupils understand how to keep themselves safe. You have provided opportunities for them to learn about issues such as esafety and for Year 6 pupils to understand how to deal with such issues as peer pressure, as part of their preparation for secondary school. Pupils told me that bullying was very rare, but that adults listen to them and act quickly to sort any problems.
