The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and the staff have created a caring and friendly environment. ‘My child has been welcomed into the school community, she is happy and thriving in a positive learning environment’ and ‘My children have made considerable progress over the years’ were just some of the comments made by parents about St John the Baptist Catholic Primary. Since your appointment in September 2014 you have worked well with other leaders and staff to continue strengthening different aspects of the school. Children in the early years are encouraged to be curious, creative and confident individuals. These attributes stay with pupils as they move through the school. You have high aspirations for the pupils and make sure that they take part in a wide variety of experiences. Visits to local places of interest, such as Warwick Castle and the River Tame, bring learning to life and contribute positively to pupils’ personal development. Governors share your high expectations. Through regular visits they gain secure first-hand knowledge of the school. This enables them to ask pertinent questions and offer an appropriate level of support and challenge. Leaders have an accurate view of teaching and give staff some useful feedback. This feedback is helping to improve teaching further still and ensure that pupils achieve well over time. On occasions, this feedback is not precise enough and it does not make clear what actions teachers need to take to raise the achievement of specific groups of pupils. In a few classes, some of the most-able pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) could make even faster progress as confirmed through our visits to lessons and work in pupils’ books.
