The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the previous inspection. You and the governors ensure that the school is a focal point in the rural community it serves. This is because you have created a culture where everyone is welcomed and respected for the contribution they make to the school’s success. The nurturing ethos at the heart of your school enables pupils to flourish. Staff know your pupils and their families well. This helps you and your staff to give appropriately targeted academic and pastoral support. Pupils told me, ‘This is a really friendly place because everyone knows each other well.’ Pupils can explain the school’s values of friendship, generosity, trust, respect, responsibility, love and hope. They understand that demonstrating these values will help them to grow up to be ‘good and respectful adults’. Since the previous inspection of your predecessor school, there have been some significant changes. West Raynham is now one of four schools in the Unity Federation of Church of England and Community Primary Academies. As executive headteacher of these schools, you use the shared arrangements to benefit them all. Joint work across the federation enables teachers to check that their assessments of pupils’ work are accurate, to have access to a range of training opportunities and to share good practice. Your high levels of professionalism and organisation contribute to the smooth running of the school when you are not on site. Governors have ensured that your role at West Raynham is strengthened by the experienced head of school and the middle leaders who work across the federation.
