The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You were appointed in September 2015 and since then you have successfully led the school through a turbulent time with regard to staffing and recruitment. Despite these challenges, standards in reading, writing and mathematics have remained high. You now have in place a strong senior leadership team who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their roles. They share an openness and honesty regarding their practice and are keen to learn from other schools, both locally and from within the trust. You are supported well by the governing body and the trust, who hold leaders fully to account for their actions. You have ensured that the school is underpinned by the values of respect, selfdiscipline, integrity, gratitude, courage and empathy. Pupils understand these values well and they are evident on displays around the school. Classrooms are bright and stimulating, with pupils’ work in a wide range of subjects on display. The pupils I spoke with said overwhelmingly that they are happy, making good progress and feel safe. One pupil described the school to me as ‘Perfect!’ They are confident that bullying does not occur at Krishna Avanti and that behaviour both inside classrooms and on the playground is good. Pupils relish the wide range of extra-curricular activities that you offer, including karate, ballet, football, cricket, sewing and chess. The Year 5 pupils are particularly looking forward to the upcoming residential trip this summer. In 2016, the proportions of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, who achieved expected levels in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of key stage 1 were above the national figures. Similarly, a higher proportion of pupils achieved a good level of development in the early years and in the Year 1 phonics check than other pupils nationally. You agree that teachers should move pupils on to more challenging work quickly, if they are to achieve at a greater depth in subsequent end-of-key-stage tests. The school website does not meet statutory requirements. As a result, parents do not receive all relevant and up-to-date information regarding the school and its work. At the previous inspection, governors were asked to regularly check the work of the school for themselves. Upon examining minutes from governor meetings and from discussions with yourself, it is evident that this has been achieved successfully. The previous report also asked teachers to ensure that pupils were aware of how they could improve their work. Your introduction of ‘steps to success’ in the mornings has enabled teachers and teaching assistants to identify any misconceptions pupils have, and therefore address this issue well. Finally, the report asked the school to work with families and pupils to ensure that attendance rates are consistently above national figures. Historic and current attendance information provided by you suggests that this has been achieved. Pupils are hardworking and polite. They spoke enthusiastically with me about their learning and the school. They are happy, safe and are making good progress. Pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain. They speak confidently regarding British values, including democracy and the rule of law. Pupils have further developed their knowledge and understanding of other faiths by visiting places of worship, including a mosque, a synagogue and a gurdwara. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. They told me that their children are happy, safe and making good progress. One parent who had recently moved their child from another school commented, ‘We are ecstatic!’ You have ensured that pupils receive a broad and balanced curriculum. Evidence in pupils’ topic books indicates that foundation subjects, such as geography, history and particularly science, are taught well. During my visit, you were holding a science week. I saw many classes where pupils were enthusiastically carrying out experiments, making predictions and writing up findings. For example, pupils in Year 2 were making rainbows, using milk, washing up liquid and food colouring.
