staff changes and disrup­ tion" has faced the school, comments the report. The commitment of


headteacher Mrs J. A. Pickup to high achieve­ ment is having a signifi­ cant impact on pupils' attainment and progress and her leadership is very good in setting a clear direction for the work of the school. Nationally expected lev­


involvement in learning is good and the headteacher constantly seeks ways to improve it further. The inspectors say that

14 per cent of teaching in the school is very good, 34 per cent good, and 43 per cent satisfactory, where strengths outweigh any weaknesses. But in a few cases, pupils were not suffi­ ciently challenged. In the best lessons,

members and noted that the action issues had been identified and put in the development plan before the inspection. The school was on target to ensure that even higher levels of achievement were met. Our picture shows Mrs
