Summary
- Governors continually look for ways to develop their own skills and expertise, including through careful recruitment to the governing body to close any gaps in skills identified.
- Their effectiveness has been further enhanced by a range of training.
- The development of an induction pack to support new governors enables them to become effective in their roles quickly.
- Consequently, governors provide a high level of challenge to leaders, which ensures that the quality of the provision and, therefore, outcomes for children continue to improve further.
- You have high expectations of yourself, and all staff.
- These expectations are reflected in staff’s appraisal targets, which they respond to positively.
- You provide staff with excellent support to help them develop their skills.
- For example, staff work together to coach and mentor one another.
- Staff never shy away from striving for the very best.
- You give them time to embed the very best practice to ensure that it is securely and consistently applied, but then look for the next steps to improve the provision even further.
- You make sure that training opportunities are closely matched to the changing needs of the children.
- For example, in response to some children’s special educational needs, all staff were provided with training so that they understand the additional needs and how to support them.
- Your focus on providing bespoke professional development has resulted in the quality of teaching and learning improving year-on-year.
- As well as your sharp focus on maintaining and further developing the quality of teaching and learning, you also have a clear focus on ensuring the future sustainability of the quality of leadership and management.
- All leaders within the school receive support and training to develop their expertise.
- This ever-evolving leadership team supports the continued improvement of the school.
- Leaders said, ‘We must be prepared to adapt to every situation.’ You take every step to ensure that the school is ready to respond to any change and any challenge it faces.
- You and your leaders have a wholehearted commitment to always look forward and to strive for the very best.
- The school improvement journey is continuous.
- This means that children at Adderley Nursery School get the very best possible start to their education, one to be cherished and one which sets an example to all.
- Staff’s knowledge and understanding of every child’s individual learning needs are quite exceptional.
- They use what they know about what children can do and plan meticulously to take children’s learning forward at pace.
- Children show a high level of sustained concentration in all their learning activities, a level way beyond their years.
- This is because staff match stimulating learning activities so well to their needs.
- Staff inspire a true love of learning in every child.
- Staff respond instantaneously to children’s learning, providing both support and challenge of the very best quality.
- Staff are highly skilled at using questions to encourage children to think and find things out for themselves.
- No minute of learning is lost.
- For example, children were asked: ‘How many dolls were in the dolls’ house?’ ‘How many would be left if a teddy fell out of the bed?’ ‘What was yesterday if today is Wednesday?’ Children were also encouraged to describe how the clay felt.
- Staff also know exactly when to intervene to support learning when children start to struggle.
- As a result of this superb teaching, children make outstanding progress from their relatively low starting points and are exceptionally well prepared for the start of the Reception Year.
- Behaviour at Adderley Nursery School is excellent.
- Children show a high level of respect to one another and all adults.
- Staff model good behaviour, including saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ during lunchtimes, and children respond brilliantly.
- Routines and structures are embedded right from the first moments that children start school.
- Staff provide very effective support to some children who need additional help to manage their behaviours.
- Consequently, children have very mature attitudes to learning and no learning is disrupted by poor behaviour.
- Support for children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities is especially strong.
- Very careful adjustments are made to learning environments to enable all children to fully participate in the learning activities.
- As a result, children who have SEN and/or disabilities flourish and make excellent progress.
- As one parent said, ‘All staff are passionate about making a difference in a disabled child’s life.’ Next steps for the school Leaders and those responsible for governance should ensure that: a strong business model is developed to ensure that the current outstanding provision is maintained in the challenging financial climate.
- I am copying this letter to the chair of the governing body, the regional schools commissioner and the director of children’s services for Birmingham.
- This letter will be published on the Ofsted website.
