The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Staff share your drive and your clear vision for continued improvement. They are fully committed to providing a good quality of education for their pupils. You value your staff. They feel well supported and appreciate the meaningful professional development you provide. They talk with enthusiasm about the research projects they are involved in. As a result, they are always looking to continually improve their practice and share teaching and learning ideas with other staff. Staff morale is high and they are proud to work at the school. The parents I talked to are extremely positive about the school and the support provided for their children. Some parents told me that the school has an ‘open door policy’ where any issues or concerns are addressed quickly. All parents and carers who responded to the online Ofsted survey, Parent View, would recommend the school. One parent reflected the views of many and said: ‘The school has a wonderful environment, where all pupils are encouraged to do well both academically and personally. The school looks after the whole child.’ You provide a range of opportunities for parents to get involved in school life, for example through curriculum workshops and the ‘share group’, where parents can come into school to discuss a range of issues and topics with staff. Pupils are well behaved, polite and courteous. They told me that they enjoy school and feel well cared for. They are enthusiastic to do their best. One pupil told me that ‘all lessons are inclusive and everyone gets a say’. Another pupil said: ‘Everyone helps each other; the school is a very friendly environment.’ Pupils appreciate the wide range of clubs, extra-curricular and sporting activities, including trips and visits that you provide. They say this helps them to develop their wider skills and interests. The pupils I talked to are proud of their school. Your school values of ‘love and friendship, honesty, endurance, thankfulness and fairness’ are central to all that you do. Pupils know these values well and they permeate all aspects of school life. Pupils demonstrate respect and tolerance. They help and support each other. ‘Family service’ at lunchtimes encourages pupils from different year groups to have lunch with each other and discuss a topic of interest. Pupil ‘peer mediators’ are around at lunchtimes and breaktimes. Pupils can talk to ‘peer mediators’ if they have any issues or concerns. Pupils take their responsibilities seriously. They are keen to contribute to the life of the school. Since the previous inspection, you, your staff and governors have worked hard to address the areas for improvement. Teaching assistants now provide good support for pupils. Regular dialogue between teaching assistants and classroom teachers ensures that pupils with individual needs are well supported. You have improved the outdoor learning environment in Reception. There is a wide range of activities which capture the interests of children. As a result, children are engaged at length in these activities. The outdoor area is a language rich environment. In every area, children have the opportunity to engage in writing. Activities enable children to develop their creative skills. The development of the ‘Hive’, an outdoor wildlife area, enables pupils to access outdoor learning more frequently and learn more about nature. Pupils continue to make good progress. The proportion of pupils achieving the expected and higher standard in reading, writing and mathematics improved in 2017 and was above the national and local authority averages. The progress made by pupils in reading and mathematics by the end of Year 6 was above that of similar pupils nationally. Consequently, pupils are well prepared for secondary school. Outcomes in phonics have also improved over the past three years. The proportion of pupils who passed the Year 1 phonics screening check was above the national average in 2017. Current school data shows further improvement in phonics this year, particularly for boys. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders, including governors, have ensured that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Staff and governors are trained regularly in all aspects of safeguarding and are fully aware of the role they play in keeping pupils safe. You take prompt action in referring any safeguarding concerns to appropriate agencies. This has enabled vulnerable pupils and families to receive timely and effective support. Your learning mentors provide day-to-day support for pupils in school. Pupils talk positively about the support they receive when needed.
