The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the previous inspection. There have been significant changes at the school since the previous inspection. The previous headteacher left at the end of the summer term and governors subsequently appointed you as interim headteacher in September 2018. A substantive headteacher has been appointed to take up the post at the beginning of the summer term. You have led the school admirably as interim headteacher and have completely won the respect of staff, governors and the wider community in the short time you have been in post. With strong support from your deputy headteachers, you have articulated a clear vision for the school and a determination that all pupils receive the best possible education. You have set high expectations of what all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and the high proportion of pupils who are new to speaking English, can achieve and how they should behave. You lost no time in swiftly identifying the key priorities for the school. This, combined with a strong drive for improvement from your senior leadership team and subject leaders, is ensuring that you are building on the school’s many strengths, as well as addressing its weaknesses. You have not shied away from making some difficult decisions around taking steps to improve the effectiveness of some aspects of teaching. Nevertheless, staff feel positive about working in the school and are wholeheartedly behind your leadership.
