The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since your appointment, you have made many changes which have enabled rapid improvement to take place. You provide dedicated and astute leadership and demonstrate a passion and desire to provide the best for every child. The staff share your vision and hold you in high regard. Governors, parents and carers value your leadership skills and determination to raise standards and create opportunities. Parents who I spoke with informally at the start of the day, and those who made comments on Ofsted’s online parent questionnaire, acknowledged the fact that the school is now much more a part of the local community. A number of them praised the good work of the school and, in particular, the professionalism of the teaching staff and teaching assistants. One said: ‘I can’t rate this school highly enough. My child has special needs and gets excellent support.’ Another parent wrote: ‘The transformation of the school since the change in leadership has been a joy to see. The teaching staff have always been brilliant, but the new head and deputy have brought a renewed positivity to the school.’ Pupils are proud of their school and those I spoke to were keen to describe the fantastic opportunities that they have. Pupils from Year 6 were eager to tell me about their involvement in the ‘Prince William award’, which focuses on teamwork, challenge and building an inclusive culture. Younger pupils were keen to tell me about their ‘Forest Schools’ work. They all said that they would recommend the school to a friend.
