The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You offer calm, yet determined leadership to the school and are ably supported by your deputy headteacher, who shares your drive for continuous improvement. In response to the school’s last inspection, you introduced a detailed and comprehensive assessment system for tracking pupils’ achievements. You use this well to identify those pupils who have fallen behind in their learning and ensure that they receive the right support to catch up. As a result, pupils across the school are making good progress. You acknowledge that standards dipped in 2015, particularly in writing. You wasted no time in making explicit your expectations of staff to raise standards in basic punctuation and presentation as well as to develop pupils’ oracy skills. The impact of this is borne out by the improvement in pupils’ achievement in 2016. This was above the national average in all subjects, at both the expected standard and the high standard for children of this age. You have eradicated weaker teaching through effective performance management. Your staff team value the support and training you provide for them.
