All Saints Church of England Infant Academy

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The interim executive headteachers have instilled a clear vision of high expectations for the school. Leaders have rapidly addressed the areas for improvement since the previous inspection. The highly skilled deputy headteachers have been instrumental in leading the improvement in the quality of teaching and behaviour across the school.

Teaching is now more consistent and is having a positive impact on pupil outcomes. The recently established governing body is very well informed and provides effective support and challenge to leaders. Governors have an astute understanding of their role.

The quality of teaching and assessment is good. Tea...chers have good subject knowledge and pitch activities to ensure challenge for all pupils. However, at times pupils can be confused when explanations lack clarity.

The curriculum is broad and balanced and is enhanced by visiting speakers and a range of trips and visits. British values are fostered well, although further work is required to deepen and develop pupils' understanding of other cultures. Children in the early years make an excellent start to school.

They develop very strong attitudes to learning and show determination and resilience to succeed. This is especially evident in their love and passion for independent writing. Leaders target additional funding well to raise outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.

There is very little difference in the progress of this group and that of other pupils in school. However, too few disadvantaged pupils reach the higher standards. The progress of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is variable because the impact of interventions is not fully evaluated.

Consequently, further support lacks precision. Pupils behave well and show good attitudes to learning. They are well mannered, respectful and kind to each other.

Pupils who spoke with inspectors said that they always feel safe and enjoy coming to school.
