The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Leaders, including the executive team of the Ryedale Federation and the federation governors, have an accurate view of the effectiveness of the school and, alongside senior leaders, continue to drive improvements which are successful in improving the progress that pupils make. The school is characterised by respectful relationships and a commitment to ensuring that all pupils are included, nurtured and cared for. Parents agree. One parent said, ‘A consistently high quality of care has been taken over the years our daughter has been at the school.’ Staff are proud to work at the school and children enjoy attending. One pupil said, ‘I love this school because there is always someone who can help you.’ Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. In each lesson we visited, they enjoyed their learning and responded well to the support from adults who worked with them. At the previous inspection, you were asked to improve the quality of teaching by using the expertise of teaching and support staff within the school to share good practice. This has become a strength of the school. You and your leaders work incisively to support all staff and encourage them to support each other. Leaders in the school monitor the quality of teaching regularly and set short-term development points for staff. Teachers regularly observe each other’s lessons and discuss how they can each improve the learning of pupils in their classes. You have been successful in building a strong collaborative culture which is driving improvements in teaching and learning. These improvements are having a positive impact, with rates of progress and attainment accelerating in 2017 and 2018.
