The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You lead the school with dedication and commitment to build on the school’s strengths and to eradicate weaknesses. The assistant headteacher is also a strong and effective leader. The role of middle leaders was an area for development after the last inspection. New middle leaders are developing well in their roles, driving up standards in literacy and mathematics. Most urgent priorities, such as improving reading and writing at the highest standards and introducing more reasoning and problem solving in mathematics, are being successfully tackled. Results have risen year on year since the last inspection. By the end of key stage 2, outcomes over time have exceeded age-related expectations in reading, writing and mathematics and are in line with national averages at the highest levels. Leaders have a clear vision for the school’s future and it is well placed to improve further. You are not complacent, however, and realise that subject leaders need to develop the skills and confidence to promote good learning across the school in their subject area. You also agree that your plans for ongoing school improvement need to be refined, with sharper targets and measurable success criteria. This will enable governors to monitor accurately whether the improvement strategies are successful or not. Parents I spoke to were keen to praise the teaching staff for their kindness and the respect they have for the children they teach. Several commented that teachers are all very approachable, welcoming and available to speak about any concerns.
