Your leadership has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You provide clear direction for the school and share your vision effectively with staff and governors. You have a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and relative weaknesses of the school, including individual pupils’ needs, because of your improved monitoring. However, you recognise that you can improve your checks on the impact of your actions on different groups of pupils over time. Your development plan is well structured and contains the right priorities and actions to bring about improvement. Governors and staff share your ambition and together you ensure that the quality of education that pupils receive continues to improve. Carefully targeted training has improved teachers’ understanding of the new curriculum requirements for writing and enhanced their skills in how to teach it. As a result, teaching now systematically develops pupils’ writing skills. Teachers seize opportunities to make writing fun and engaging for pupils. They make good use of the opportunities that other curriculum subjects provide for pupils to apply and practise their writing skills. Regular meetings between teachers in this school and others across the local cluster of schools check the accuracy of assessments. Consequently, pupils make stronger progress and achieved higher standards.
