This is a good school The headteacher leads with moral purpose and determination. Senior leaders share his vision. Together they are creating a culture of aspiration as this school grows to its full capacity.
The trust has played a pivotal role in creating this new school. It has rapidly established effective systems which allow the school to run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. Children in the Nursery receive effective care and nurture.
Strong leadership ensures that staff skills are improving rapidly. Parents and carers are very satisfied with the Nursery. However, staff do not yet make the most of the outdoor areas to promote children's learning.
Te...aching in Reception and Year 1 helps children acquire early writing skills well. However, pupils' handwriting in Year 2 and above is not yet sufficiently well developed. The quality of phonics teaching has improved significantly in the last year and is now good.
Pupils are supported well to develop their early reading skills. Pupils make good progress across a range of subjects in Years 7 to 9, including English and mathematics. Nevertheless, some pupils do not read a wide enough range of texts, and this limits their vocabulary.
Pupils' conduct in lessons and around the school is good. Staff and pupils trust and respect each other. Staff develop pupils' personal and social skills well.
The majority of pupils know how to be successful learners. However, a small minority of pupils in key stage 3 waste time in lessons by quietly switching off. Senior leaders' checks on the quality of teaching and learning ensure that they have an accurate understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the school.
Consequently, they are able to pinpoint any areas that need to improve. Middle leaders demonstrate flexibility as their responsibilities develop in this expanding school. However, some are new to their roles and lack leadership experience.
The governing body, supported well by the trust, provides effective challenge to senior leaders. As the founders of this school, the governors are passionate about its growth and success.
