You have maintained and improved upon the areas of strength reported in the previous inspection and have successfully tackled the areas for improvement. Rigorous and effective monitoring means that you have an accurate view of the school’s strengths and the areas for further work. In 2018, the proportion of pupils who achieved the expected and higher standards in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6 continued to be above the national averages. Progress rates improved in reading and particularly in writing. However, progress was stronger in English than it was in mathematics. The actions that you have taken are strengthening pupils’ progress in mathematics and you have rightly identified a continuing focus on this work. You set great store by developing leaders and ensuring that they make a significant contribution to school improvement.

One wrote, ‘Members of the senior leadership team are always on hand to offer advice and support.’ Parents also wrote about their children’s enthusiasm for the range of topics and clubs that they experience. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have ensured that there is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school and all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. There is a clear awareness that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and that pupils’ well-being and safety are paramount. All staff are well trained in all aspects of safeguarding. They know the pupils very well and have a thorough understanding of how to spot any issues and raise concerns. They are vigilant in doing so. The designated safeguarding leaders act swiftly if concerns are raised. They liaise well with other agencies to ensure that pupils receive timely and effective support.
