This is a good school Leaders' and trustees' work to establish this new school has been effective. They have ensured that pupils benefit from a good quality of education and that the school is in a strong position as it continues to grow each year. The head of school, ably supported by her assistant head of school, has high expectations and is committed to the school's continued improvement.
Together, they accurately assess the school's successes and are taking appropriate action to ensure its further improvement. Governance is strong. Governors have been quick to develop their levels of skill and understanding.
They know the school's strengths and weaknesses,... and they provide leaders with effective support and challenge. Teaching is typically good, and it is improving. Consequently, most pupils make good overall progress as they move through the school.
Leaders and governors ensure that pupils enjoy a broad and balanced range of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They make strong and increasingly better progress.
Staff are proud to work at the school and are grateful for the many training and development opportunities that are open to them. Leaders ensure that pupils are well looked after and that they are kept safe. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a strength of the school.
Leadership of the early years is good. This ensures that children get off to a positive start in their education. Children enjoy a rich and interesting curriculum.
Leaders are afforded an appropriate range of support, challenge and training. The leadership of English and mathematics is well established and has a positive impact on pupils' outcomes. Leadership of other subjects is less secure in checking the quality of teaching and its effect on learning.
Learning activities and teachers' questioning do not always provide appropriate challenge to all pupils, including in subjects other than English and mathematics (foundation subjects). The outcomes of a small number of pupils are not currently meeting leaders' high expectations.
