The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since becoming headteacher in September 2014, you have established a leadership and staff team with a strong capacity to secure further improvement. Your pragmatic and determined approach has been integral to the school’s more recent and rapid development. Governors and other school leaders share your ambition for the school, and support you effectively to achieve the best for all pupils. There has been a great deal of staff change since the previous inspection. Your evaluation of the school accurately identifies the strengths and the challenges that the school has had. You reflect carefully on how the school could do things more effectively and this provides the basis of leaders’ school improvement work. Upon your appointment, you perceptively identified the areas that the school rapidly needed to develop and have rightly focused on improving the quality of teaching, learning and assessment so that pupils’ achievement is at the core of the school’s work. This is ensuring that the school remains good. Pupils are unanimous that they have a ‘fun, educational experience’. Pupils say that they are proud of their school and ‘feel heard’. Those pupils I met with from Year 6 said they will be sorry to leave in July because they think their time at St John Fisher has ‘set them up for life’. Pupils talk enthusiastically about their learning.
