The leadership team has maintained the outstanding quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since the last inspection, you have been promoted to headteacher and there has been a significant change to the membership of the governing body. You, with the assistant headteacher who is responsible for behaviour, have energised the staff to make further improvements, notably to behaviour. Leaders and governors have taken effective action to address the area for improvement identified in the previous inspection report: to use data already collected by the school to compare the progress made by pupils in the school to the progress made nationally. You have done this by: – working with the local authority to develop a reliable measure, which enables you to compare the progress of pupils from key stage 2 to Year 11. – evaluating the progress of pupils using several different types of published information, such as Fischer Family Trust or Aspire, which allows you to compare the progress of your pupils with all pupils nationally. In addition, you have benchmarked the outcomes of your pupils with other schools, both mainstream and special, locally. These actions have contributed to the raising of leaders and staff’s expectations of pupils, and have supported the improvement in pupils’ progress and behaviour.
