The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. In the last three years, there have been key changes to staffing. You have been appointed as headteacher and a new deputy headteacher has also been appointed. Your hard work and that of the staff are ensuring that the school continues to improve under your leadership. Since your appointment in September 2016, you have addressed the areas for improvement from the previous inspection effectively. You have developed the curriculum to include more opportunities for pupils to apply their mathematical skills in other subjects, particularly in science. You have also developed the mathematics curriculum to better meet the needs of all pupils. As a result, pupils achieve in line with national averages in mathematics at the end of key stages 1 and 2 and say they enjoy learning in mathematics. As recommended in the school’s previous inspection, you have developed approaches to providing feedback to pupils about their learning. Teachers provide regular feedback to pupils in lessons. They quickly address any misunderstandings and this supports pupils in making good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. You, other leaders and governors have an accurate understanding of the school’s performance. You recognise what the school does well but also know that there are areas for improvement, for example in the achievement of disadvantaged pupils. Although you have a clear understanding of the school’s strengths and weaknesses, school improvement planning is not as strong as it could be. For example, the school improvement plan and pupil premium strategy do not include clear targets for pupils’ achievement. As a result, leaders and governors are not able to check how successful their actions have been. You have recently strengthened whole-school leadership by appointing three phase leaders along with subject leaders for reading, writing and mathematics. New leaders are committed and enthusiastic. They are knowledgeable about their areas of responsibility and have begun to take action to improve performance. However, because these leaders are new to their roles, they have not yet been able to fully contribute to school improvement. You make termly checks on pupils’ progress and hold teachers to account for this. You are currently developing teachers’ skills in making accurate assessments to gain a more precise view of pupils’ achievement. You and other leaders regularly check on the quality of teaching. As a result, you know where teaching and learning are the strongest and where to direct support. All staff promote the school’s values of trust, respect, accountability, integrity, openness and proactivity. Pupils I met talked enthusiastically about the ‘Langley school rap’ and demonstrated a strong understanding of the meaning of each value. Pupils are proud of their school. They work hard and appreciate the good learning opportunities teachers provide, including the many trips and visits used to enhance the curriculum. Pupils show respect for people from different cultures and religions. One pupil said, ‘It is good to be different and to be proud of who you are.’ Parents also commented on the diverse nature of the school and the good work that staff do to make everyone feel included. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Staff receive appropriate training to carry out their safeguarding responsibilities. They use the school’s systems effectively to report any concerns they may have about pupils’ welfare or safety. Pupils demonstrate a good understanding of the different types of bullying. They say that bullying sometimes happens but that staff act quickly and effectively to deal with any incidents that occur. Pupils have an appropriate understanding of how to keep themselves safe in different situations. They can confidently explain what to do if they see something on their computer which makes them feel uncomfortable. Pupils are happy at school and feel safe. During the inspection, pupils made comments such as, ‘We trust our teachers to take care of us.’ The majority of parents that completed the online questionnaire agree that their child feels safe at school.
