“The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. [The headteacher], senior leaders and governors have a common and accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. The school development plan is sharply focused to address the identified priorities and work is under way on most of these. [Leaders] have fostered very strong relationships with other agencies to support pupils and their families.”
