The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Following your appointment in September 2016, you swiftly established an accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. You used this information effectively and decisively to rapidly improve the quality of teaching and pupils’ achievement. Together with an effective senior leadership team from across the North Cotswolds Schools’ Federation (NCSF), you continue to take the necessary action in challenging staff and holding them to account. This is resulting in the transformational effects seen around the school and in lessons. The high expectations of you and other leaders are reflected in pupils’ work as well as in their behaviour, conduct and attitudes. Together with other school leaders, you have implemented necessary change and rigour in the school’s systems and processes, such as in checking and following up the attendance and punctuality of pupils. You have managed these changes skilfully so that pupils understand their importance and recognise the benefits these changes are bringing. For example, pupils told me that ‘We need to work harder but lessons are fun!’ Pupils also enjoy the supportive and nurturing ethos which emanates through the relationships seen in the school. This is a happy school where pupils show respect and courtesy towards each other. Pupils are taught to value each other and respect differences. For example, a group of pupils whose view was typical told me, ‘We believe we should be kind to one another.’ Pupils and staff strongly reflect the school’s values through their various interactions across the school day.
