Rating: Good
Indicators Improved: An incredible 49 and jumped from Acceptable to Good
Where improvements happened: Almost everywhere, in fact, only 12 indicators didn't move up.
The leadership and management of the school is good. A clear and strategic vision and action plan has been developed setting out long-term goals for the whole school community. The positive impact of leadership is demonstrated in the significant improvements across many aspects of school performance
The evaluation of school performance has been strengthened. Senior leaders work diligently to evaluate effectively but do not yet involve middle leaders consistently. Self-assessment is used successfully to inform curriculum improvements and to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of teaching.
Partnerships with parents are very good. Parents are regularly involved in school activities. Reporting and communication procedures are highly effective. Parents report that they are consistently well-informed about their children’s learning and development.
Governors provide supportive leadership. The arrangements for health and safety are now outstanding and superb facilities made available in a modern, attractive school environment.
The management of the school impacts positively on the day-to-day routines. The school is committed to deploying qualified staff in all subject areas in order to improve student’ outcomes. An extensive range of resources are well-matched to the curriculum requirements.
It would be easier to highlight what didn’t improve this year at Credence! Almost all indicators at Credence are now rated Good with personal development rated Very Good and health and safety rated Outstanding.
