The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You provide strong leadership, much valued by the school community, to ‘Develop happy, confident children who thrive in a secure and vibrant atmosphere.’ You and your governors strongly promote a collaborative approach to leadership which enables a united and skilled team to bring staff together and sustain pupils’ good progress. Almost all pupils, staff, parents and carers, in meetings with the inspector and responses to the online surveys, indicated great satisfaction with the school. In particular, their views expressed pride in being part of a caring and successful school community. One parent represented the views of most by writing, ‘Wimborne First School is a lovely school, the teachers are very caring and approachable and it feels more like a large family than a school.’ You and your staff set high expectations for pupils’ behaviour, relationships and attitudes to learning and, almost without exception, they rise to the challenge. Throughout the inspection, I observed exemplary behaviour with pupils playing supportively together and helping each other to learn. Governors provide strong support and know the school well. They are robust in holding you and leaders at all levels to account for the school’s performance and pupils’ achievement. You and the governors provide especially skilled strategic leadership, for example in preparing meticulously for the move into a new school building and planning future nursery and academy developments.
