tion carried out at the end of March says that head­ teacher Mr Brian Beres- ford and deputy Mrs Sue Tinker "provide very good leadership and are very well supported by knowl­ edgeable governors and a dedicated and hard work­


ing staff."


The inspectors especially praise'the standard of


.


teaching, saying that six per cent is satisfactory, 54 % good, 31% very good and nine per cent excellent. "This leads directly to


the good progress that pupils make in all classes throughout the school, says the report. Standards are above average in Eng­ lish and maths and average


in science. "The attainment of 11-


ycar-old pupils in design and technology, geography


and music is higher than national expectations. Sub­ ject co-ordinators are effec­ tive in their work and the well-planned curriculum


helps pupils develop rele­ vant skills and knowledge," says the report. Prudent financial management means that the school gives good value for its costs.

Very good improvements


have been made since the last inspection, with better resources used well to sup­ port learning. More able pupils, who were not consis­ tently challenged at the time of the last inspection, are now carefully planned for, and achieve well. Pupils with special needs make good progress towards their targets because of good quality support from teach­ ers and classroom assis­


tants. The inspectors felt that,


due to considerable work by the head, staff and gover­ nors, the confidence of par­


ents has been restored to a level where they express strongly favourable views of the school and now play an effective part in its life. Links with the local com­ munity have improved. The inspectors say that


everyone has remained cheerful and adaptable and school work has not suf­


politeness and good behav­ iour are the norm through­ out the school, with the 204 pupils responding to the good teaching. However, the inspectors felt that more could be done to give pupils a greater say in the life of the school, perhaps through a school council. In spite of difficulties caused by structural problems and consequent disruption,
