The effectiveness of Leadership & Management
|
All teachers have a leadership responsibility. Leadership in English, Maths, Science and RE have been developed throughout 2014-15 to respond to the increased demands of NC14. There has been rigorous monitoring in these subjects and there are now Handbooks for English, Maths and Religious Education in place to guide teachers in pedagogy and subject knowledge and the use of assessment to accelerate progress.
Leaders of Foundation Subjects (Humanities / PE / Art, Design & Music, Computing) are given experience of monitoring standards in their subjects to include the quality of pupils work, progress across the year and lesson observations. This is an area for development 2015-16.

The quality of teaching, learning and assessment

We rate the quality of our teaching by evaluating attainment, progress as evidenced from pupil books and the impact of feedback on accelerating progress.
As at 31st December 2015 43% of teaching was judged to be outstanding and 57% good.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare
|
Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development equips them to be thoughtful, caring and active citizens in school and in wider society. Pupils show respect for others’ ideas and views.
The school’s open culture actively promotes all aspects of pupils’ welfare. Pupils are safe and feel safe at all times. They understand how to keep themselves and others safe in different situations and settings. They trust leaders to take rapid and appropriate action to resolve any concerns they have.
Pupils are confident and self-assured. They take pride in their work, their school and their appearance. Their attitudes to all aspects of their learning are consistently positive. These positive attitudes have a good impact on the progress they make.
Pupils conduct themselves well throughout the day, including at lunchtimes. The school is an orderly environment. Pupils respond quickly to instructions and requests from staff, allowing lessons to flow smoothly and without interruption. Low-level disruption is rare.

Outcomes for pupils
|
KS2 Pupil outcomes for 2015 were very good, with percentages of pupils achieving Level 4+, 4B+ and 5+ in combined Reading, Writing and Maths being well in excess of Local Authority and National Averages. All pupils made expected progress of 2 Levels between KS1 & KS2 and 45% of pupils made better than expected progress in Reading, Writing & Maths combined.
KS1 outcomes were lower than in the past with the percentage of pupils achieving L2+ slightly below National. This is cohort specific. There will continue to be significant intervention for this class.
KS1 Phonics outcomes were good – 83% passed their screening check compared with national 77% (See Ofsted Area for improvement)
EYFS – Cohort specific. On entry baseline below expected. Interventions made a significant improvement but cohort will continue to require close monitoring.
