The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Leaders are determined, capable and effective as a direct result of your decisive and insightful leadership. You have ensured that the school is a place where pupils’ good outcomes go hand-in-hand with their excellent personal development. As a result, pupils feel part of one community which is underpinned by very strong values. They are fully signed up to the school’s motto, ‘Be the best you can be’. Pupils are friendly, polite, respectful to each other and hugely proud of their school. They learn and achieve well because of the hard work and dedication of all the staff. Pupils’ behaviour is very good and sometimes impeccable. Governors work effectively to make sure that the strong ethos of the school is maintained and leads to continual improvement in pupils’ progress. The overwhelming majority of parents are very positive about the school. A critical factor in pupils’ good achievement is the way in which teachers and teaching assistants know individual pupils well. Staff put great effort into understanding what support and challenge pupils require to make progress. This means that teachers plan lessons that meet pupils’ needs effectively and that staff make sure pupils have the help they need to be happy and ready to learn at school. Consequently, disadvantaged pupils, for example, generally make as much progress and sometimes more than other pupils in the school and other pupils nationally. Equally, those pupils who are young carers get impressive support to help them manage their responsibilities and learn well.
