The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since you became interim headteacher in April 2018, ably assisted by the newly appointed acting headteacher, you have wasted no time in ensuring that the school focuses on areas that are key to further improvement. You have managed the school skilfully during a time of staffing changes and possible forthcoming academisation. You have continued the work of previous leaders, addressing the areas for improvement that were identified at the previous inspection. The most able pupils are now routinely challenged, particularly in mathematics and reading. By the end of key stage 1 and key stage 2, the proportion attaining the higher standard in mathematics and reading is at least in line with other pupils nationally. Work in pupils’ books, evidence from moderation activities with other schools and school tracking data indicate that this trend is likely to continue this year. However, you recognise that more work needs to be done to raise the proportion of pupils who attain above the expected standard in writing by the end of Year 6, and you have started to address this. Governors are highly supportive of the school. They know the school well and hold leaders to account for the school’s work. For example, they have set you a number of targets to achieve during your tenure as interim headteacher. The progress towards these targets is closely monitored, checked and reviewed.
