OFSTED Report
The following extract from our latest OFSTED report summaries the inspection
Dates of inspection: 13 – 15 October 2003
The overall effectiveness of the school is good. As a result of good teaching and learning, most pupils attain the expected standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they leave the school at the end of Year 6. Pupils’ achievements are good in almost all areas of the curriculum and as a result their learning develops rapidly. The school’s ethos is inclusive and caring; it has good links with parents and the community it serves. The Headteacher provides good leadership, and the management of the school is efficient. The school provides satisfactory value for money.
The school’s main strengths and weaknesses are:
The
staff team is very effective. Teachers, ancillary teachers and support staff
blend together well to provide a broad curriculum which enables pupils to
achieve well
The
effective involvement of the governors in the leadership of the staff team gives
the school a clear sense of purpose and direction
The
very good quality of teachers’ planning contributes significantly to the good
teaching and learning, although marking and moderation of pupils’ work is
inconsistent
Reading
and mathematics are a strength alongside music
Writing
is weak, and although improving, is not yet used effectively to support pupils’
progress in all aspects of the curriculum
The improvement in the school since the last inspection five years ago is satisfactory. The curriculum is now planned effectively, and individual teachers’ lesson planning is now a strength. The assessment of pupils is satisfactory. Teaching and learning are monitored and the outcomes feed into the school improvement planning process, which is now good.
