Since the previous inspection, leaders have brought about significant improvements across all aspects of school life. The headteacher is now supported by an effective senior leadership team. Pupils enjoy learning at Luddenden Church of England School. They say that adults help them to learn and remember the important things in the curriculum. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils will achieve. Curriculum plans are well sequenced and constructed to build on what pupils have learned before. Pupils are proud of their achievements right across the curriculum. Pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not always identified accurately enough. This means that some pupils do not get the support they need. In the early years, teachers do not consistently follow detailed curriculum plans. As a result, opportunities for learning are missed. Behaviour has improved. The new behaviour policy, based on the school’s Christian principles, is followed consistently. Behaviour around school is calm and sensible because adults have high expectations. Pupils play well together at breaktimes. Adults help them to play team games. Pupils and parents say there is sometimes bullying and disruptive behaviour. However, they are confident that leaders take swift action to sort it out. Pupils enjoy taking responsibility. Some of them are anti-bullying ambassadors. The older pupils take care of the younger ones at playtimes and lunchtimes. The librarians set a good example by keeping the library neat and tidy.
