The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and your senior leaders are persistent in driving the school forward. You have taken clear actions to respond to the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection report. Governors and representatives from the local authority and the diocese speak highly of the changes that you have made in the school since your appointment. You have forged successful partnerships with other schools to further develop your staff and support your pupils. You recognise that outcomes for pupils in some areas have been too low in the past. Together with leaders, you have put in place effective strategies to improve standards. These actions are now showing clear impact. There is less variation between different subjects and the gap between mathematics and English has been narrowed significantly. Pupils with higher prior attainment, on entry to the school, increasingly make the progress of which they are capable. However, you are not complacent about the needs of these pupils, who remain a priority. Improvement planning and evaluation are more focused and aligned across all aspects of the school. You and your senior leaders have an accurate view of the school’s current performance. All leaders work together effectively to identify any barriers to learning for particular groups of pupils. This results in the sharing of good practice, which raises achievement. Nevertheless, some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and pupils’ outcomes still remain.
