Leaders have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Despite only being in post for a month, you have already adroitly articulated your vision for the school that all pupils can ‘fully access life and be active participants in their futures’. In your short time in school, you have built on the good work of current and past leaders to inspire your staff and pupils to do their best. Your high expectations are reflected across the school with leaders, teachers and pupils aiming to exceed expectations. Consequently, parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school, describing how the pupils are ‘transformed’ and reporting that ‘it is a little school with a big heart’. Since your appointment you have reviewed all aspects of the school. Staff and leaders appreciate how you listen to their suggestions to further refine strategies that worked well in the past. You stringently evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the school and you have successfully prioritised the areas that require further attention. As a result, there are already new approaches in place to ensure that teachers are effectively meeting the increasingly complex needs of pupils now starting at the school. The support and care for all pupils, especially those with complex needs, is exemplary because you and your leaders are passionate about this aspect of your work.
