School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the previous inspection. At the heart of this good-quality work is the desire to meet the needs of individual pupils. Your calm and quiet determination to improve the school further is evident but you have been hampered in this drive because of a number of staff changes and the difficulties you experienced in recruiting the right people to leadership positions. However, you have now strengthened your leadership team and, as a result, you and your staff are in a good position to further the drive and vision for the school that you clearly describe for all stakeholders. The school provides a stimulating learning environment and is a calm and happy place. Daily routines are well established and this provides security and stability for the pupils. As a result, the vast majority enjoy school, attend well, feel safe and are keen to learn. The positive relationship between staff and pupils is a real strength. It is evident that all staff know the pupils really well. This, combined with the passion, enthusiasm and commitment that all staff have to ensuring that every child is motivated and engaged in their learning, means that all pupils are challenged to do their very best. As a result, the progress pupils make from their starting points is excellent.
