The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since arriving at the school, you have put great effort and energy into making the changes that will ensure the school continues to improve. Your vision is one of excellence and you have not been afraid to challenge staff at all levels in your determination to achieve this. Because of this, the school is moving forward, a view expressed strongly by parents and supported by the local authority. During my visit it was clear that the personal development and well-being of each and every child are of great importance to all members of staff. The school is a caring, nurturing community where pupils learn much more than how to read and write. The classrooms I visited were busy, with pupils working hard, but having fun and enjoying the challenges set for them by their teachers. I certainly got the impression that the school’s motto, ‘Together we shine’, is a reality here. Pupils enjoy an exciting and engaging curriculum, delivered by talented and dedicated staff. Specialists are employed to deliver lessons in physical education and sport to all year groups across the school. I witnessed these high-quality sessions for the Reception classes throughout the morning as I moved around the school, having to pass through the hall often, taking care to avoid flying beanbags and hopping children.
