Academy Conversion Letter - Dec 23

Mendell Primary School had a Local Authority School Assurance visit completed by two independent School Assurance Professionals.

School Assurance Professional Report - March 2022

The visit was carried out on 18th March 2022 and the full report is provided above, however the key findings were:

Curriculum subjects – well considered, strategic approach to the development of long term and medium- term plans resulting in clarity within the curriculum intent. All evidence shared supports the curriculum intent. Focused, high quality professional learning, from a variety of sources, has enabled subject leaders to write detailed plans which clearly show the progression in skills and knowledge across the subject disciplines. The senior leaders have driven substantial change swiftly to implement a curriculum design which focuses upon disciplinary knowledge. Senior leaders have modelled high expectations in their own leadership of subjects. Quality schemes are in place for their priority 2 subject disciplines.

- Subject leaders – talked exceptionally well about their strategic actions to improve their subject discipline. All leaders have been forensic in their approach to display high ambitions for the pupils through their subject design. There is a strong focus upon building upon pupils’ prior knowledge, and experiences, to shape new learning. There are consistent plans in place which show opportunities for pupils to know and remember more e.g., Flashpoint Friday. All leaders have begun to quality assure the effectiveness of the curriculum – staff voice, pupil voice, workbook looks and lesson visits. Peer to peer observations support have also been given. The school’s agreed approach to the curriculum Consistency Insistency Ambition was strongly evident in the evidence gathered on the day.

- Senior leaders have ensured dedicated time has been provided for subject leaders to write the curriculum which has enabled the school to move quickly.

- Governors play an active role in their link role. E.g., DT link governor report to governors was succinct, well written and accurate.

The government will not publish KS2 school-level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, it will not be possible to calculate KS1 to KS2 progress measures for the 2023 to 2024 or 2024 to 2025 academic years, as no Key Stage 1 baseline data is available for these cohorts.

For the 2023 to 2024 academic year, academies are not required to publish progress scores in reading, writing, or maths, in line with the Secretary of State's decision not to publish these measures.
