The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and your staff continue to provide a harmonious learning community. Parents told me that ‘children love the school and we couldn’t be happier with the community feel.’ This was evident during the inspection. You, your staff and governors have an accurate and reflective view of the school’s strengths and priorities. Together, you are determined to improve the school further. You have high expectations of what you can achieve while being mindful and realistic about staff workloads. As a result, staff morale is high. At the previous inspection, inspectors asked the leadership team, including governors, to ensure that all pupils, of all abilities, have appropriately challenging activities. Following a dip in results in 2016, you wisely instigated the support of the local authority. The local authority has brokered links with an outstanding primary school to provide additional training and support for staff. The positive impact of the support is reflected in the ability of teachers to plan learning effectively to meet the needs of the wide range of abilities in each class. There was significant improvement in reading and writing at the end of key stage 2 in 2018. There was also improvement in mathematics, but it was not as strong. You are focused on embedding improvements in mathematics. Inspectors asked that the most able pupils always be sufficiently challenged, especially in mathematics. Teachers ensure that these pupils are presented with more challenging activities. The most able often work with older pupils in order to provide them with more stretch and challenge. The impact has been an increase in the proportion of pupils reaching greater depth at the end of Year 2. In 2018, this was higher than the national average. Inspectors also asked that you set targets for improvement for your teachers. You shared with me the targets that you set for teachers and explained how this is reviewed. Teachers have high aspirations for pupils. Seven staff responded to the Ofsted online staff questionnaire and all strongly agreed that they feel they are treated fairly and with respect. Children get off to a flying start in early years. This is because you have effective transition arrangements that allow children to settle quickly into school routines when they join the Nursery class. We observed skilled storytelling which enthralled all the children in Nursery and Reception and the Year 1 pupils. Teachers encourage a love for books and reading from an early age and throughout the school. Because there are such small numbers in each cohort, published data is skewed. However, the changes that you have instigated to improve the quality of teaching and learning are having a notable impact on the improvement in progress and outcomes of pupils across each year group. Consequently, pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education, both academically and also in their personal development and resilience. You encourage pupils’ regular attendance. However, a small minority of pupils have too many absences. Pupils clearly enjoy coming to school and they take pride in their work. They know what they need to do to improve their work and are proud of their achievements. Pupils who spoke to me said that teachers make learning fun. The respect that they have for each other, and the positive relationships fostered within the school, contribute to the good progress that pupils make in a range of subjects. You, your staff and volunteers inspire a love of learning. Safeguarding is effective. As the designated safeguarding leader, you make sure that staff fully understand their duty and follow systems and procedures for logging concerns. You ensure that all necessary checks are made on the suitability of staff to work with children and you check on visitors to the school. You make sure that the promotion of safeguarding throughout the school has a high profile. You provide staff with regular training that is up to date, so that they and members of the governing body understand the current guidance. Together, you and your deputy safeguarding leader diligently follow up all concerns and make sure that pupils are kept safe. You work well with a range of external agencies to secure expertise to support pupils’ welfare. You and your staff provide excellent care and support for pupils and their families. You ensure that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. Parents told me that ‘staff are outstanding in showing care and compassion for the children.’ Evidence from the inspection supports this view.
