Quotes takes from the Report
Parents remark on the good quality of care for pupils. This leads to
pupils’ good personal development. The trusting relationships between staff and
pupils, and between pupils, are an important element in their enjoyment of school.
The headteacher is well supported by the senior leadership team. The partnerships
with other organisations, including schools and local authority support services, are
good.
The pupils with
learning difficulties and/or disabilities make the same satisfactory progress as other
pupils.
Teaching assistants provide good support, ensuring that
all pupils including those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities are included well
in lessons.
Pupils enjoy coming to school and their attendance has improved to above average.
Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good overall, but their
understanding of life in multicultural Britain is less well developed. The good
personal, social and health education programme contributes to pupils’ positive
attitudes and good behaviour. Pupils feel safe and are confident to approach school
staff with any worries.
The governing body fulfils its
statutory responsibilities. Governors provided effective continuity during the period of
interim leadership. They demonstrate a readiness to play the role of ‘critical friend’
and offer a satisfactory level of challenge in identifying the implications of data
analysis and the school’s self-evaluation.
There are positive things to say about the school. These are the most important ones.
- Your whole school has a happy atmosphere about it.
- Your behaviour in lessons and around school is good.
- You have very good relationships with each other, and with the teachers and
other adults. They take good care of you.

- The teaching in your school is always at least satisfactory, and sometimes
good.
- The teachers have planned a satisfactory curriculum, which interests you.
- Your school has good relationships with your parents, other schools and the
people they ask to come in to help you.
