'Leaders and governors have high expectations of staff and pupils and have worked together well to develop an aspirational culture. As a result, standards in reading and teaching in the early years have improved.
Governors know the school well and make regular visits to see the school’s work for themselves. For example, the chair of governors leads the school improvement group that checks on pupils’ achievement.
Governors provide effective challenge and hold leaders to account well.
Governors know how leaders use additional funding. In particular, they check how the pupil premium funding is used and monitor its impact on the achievement of disadvantaged pupils
Governors use their training well, so they have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding and health and safety matters.'
