Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school. Through a period of staff turbulence school leaders, including governors, have secured improvements in the achievement of all groups of pupils and in the quality of teaching.
As a result, the school continues to improve. The headteacher is highly ambitious for every pupil. She is well supported by a staff and governing body that are entirely committed to her view of how successful the school can be.
The subjects provided effectively meet pupils' needs. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural awareness is well developed so that they learn to respect themselves and others. Behaviour is good both in class and around the school.
...>Pupils like their teachers and enjoy learning. Pupils are happy and feel safe in school because : staff care for them well. Teaching is effective because it is well led and managed.
Teachers create lessons which motivate and engage pupils. Teachers and teaching assistants work well together as a team to provide for the needs of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs. Pupils make good progress from their individual starting points in reading, writing and mathematics because they are taught well.
Children in the early years make good progress because of good teaching which helps to develop their enthusiasm for learning. It is not yet an outstanding school because : The quality of learning and teaching is not outstanding because there are times when the most-able pupils do not get on with appropriately challenging work quickly enough. Teachers do not always check that pupils correct and edit their work.
In some classes, written work is not well presented and pupils do not always use capital letters in the right place. Some subject leaders are new to their role and not yet skilled enough to check on and drive improvements in pupils' achievement in their areas of responsibility.
Information about this school
This school is smaller than most primary schools.
The proportion of disadvantaged pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional funding for those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local authority) is well below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is below the national level. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is below average and there are currently no pupils at the very early stages of learning to speak English as an additional language.
The school provides full-time places for children in the Reception classes. Since the previous inspection, five new teachers have taken up posts in the school. Two senior leaders have joined the staff since September 2014.
The school is supported by a national leader of education (NLE) who is the headteacher at St Chad's primary school. The school provides a before- and after-care service which includes a breakfast club for pupils. The school meets the government's current floor standard, which sets the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics at the end of Year 6.
