Introduction

The inspection was carried out by two additional inspectors. The inspectors visited nine lessons, observed five teachers in school during the inspection, and held meetings with governors, staff and groups of pupils. They looked at the school development plan, the latest report to governors from the School Improvement Partner, the most recent national and school data on attainment and progress, safeguarding policies and records, assessment information, the latest attendance figures and pupils' work in all classes. The 69 questionnaires returned by parents and carers were analysed, as were those completed by staff and pupils. The inspection team reviewed many aspects of the school's work. It looked in detail at a number of key areas.  The progress of the more-able pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, especially in mathematics, to determine whether teaching is sufficiently challenging for them and provision meets their needs.

p.3

Introduction

 Whether there are weaknesses in teaching that may be holding pupils back.  The success of introduced measures to help teachers track pupils' progress and to give pupils greater ownership in their learning.  The effectiveness of leaders and managers in driving improvement and evaluating the school's work.

Information about the school

This is a smaller-than-average school although the number on roll has risen significantly since the last inspection. A little over half of all pupils live in the village with the remaining pupils travelling from Kingston upon Hull, a neighbouring authority. The percentage of pupils from minority ethnic groups is well below what is typical and no pupils speak English as an additional language. An Early Years Foundation Unit was formed in September 2008. Many more pupils enter the school between the Early Years Foundation Stage class and Year 6 than in most other schools, with only very few leaving. Additional staff have been appointed and the building has been enlarged over the past three years. The acting headteacher at the time of the last inspection was appointed to the permanent post in September 2009. The percentage of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are close to what

is typical nationally. The school has achieved Active Mark and National Healthy School Status. Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms

p.3

Main findings

This is a satisfactory school. Particular strengths are the care, guidance and support provided for pupils, the good curriculum, which brings learning alive for pupils, and pupils' excellent knowledge of how to lead a healthy lifestyle. As a result of these positive features, pupils like school, shown in their above-average attendance, feel safe and almost all behave well in lessons and around the school. Most parents recognise that the school takes good care of its pupils. 'Children settle well because of the care and kindness shown.' is a typical comment. The school is rigorous in keeping pupils safe and works well with other agencies to ensure their welfare. Good spiritual, moral, social and cultural development underpins the school's work and helps to explain why the school is a cohesive community. Pupils' academic achievement as they move through the school is satisfactory because teaching is satisfactory. Thus, the overall effectiveness of the school is also satisfactory.

p.4

Main findings

Pupils reach average standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they leave, although weaknesses in mathematics slow progress. For example, there are too few real-life experiences and too little emphasis on the development of mathematical skills in other subjects to help pupils make the best possible progress. Some pupils, mostly the more able, do not always make the progress they should because work is not always at the right level for them. This is because improvements to assessment practices and procedures to help improve pupils' performances are only just beginning to bear fruit. Pupils sometimes do not know how to improve because marking and the setting of targets are at an early stage. The headteacher has the support of colleagues, most parents and the governing body; morale in the school is good, priorities for development are the right ones and self- evaluation is largely accurate. Arrangements to track pupils' progress, an issue from the

p.4

Main findings

last inspection, have been established to help teachers identify pupils falling behind so they can be given extra support. Nevertheless, the pace of improvement is too slow and some issues from the last inspection remain, which helps to explain the school's satisfactory capacity to improve. The monitoring of the school's work, especially of teaching, and the checks made on the rate of its own progress in meeting identified priorities, are not regular enough and do not focus sharply on learning to be of maximum benefit. Subject leaders are not yet fully accountable for standards and progress. The supportive governing body has a say in decision-making but is not yet involved enough in monitoring the school's work or leading its direction. About 40% of the schools whose overall effectiveness is judged satisfactory may receive a monitoring visit by an Ofsted inspector before their next Section 5 inspection.

p.5

What does the school need to do to improve further?

 By July 2012, ensure all teaching is at least good in order to accelerate progress and raise standards, especially in mathematics and for the most able by: enabling teachers to view and learn from outstanding practice checking that work given to pupils is always at the right level ensuring pupils always know through marking and, where appropriate, through targets, what they are learning, what they have learnt and what they need to do next maintaining a brisk pace and ensuring pupils have enough time for independent work to extend their learning increasing opportunities for pupils to develop mathematical skills through other subjects and solve problems linked to real-life experiences to add interest and enjoyment to their learning.  By July 2012, improve leadership and management by: increasing the pace of school improvement establishing and adhering to an assessment and monitoring calendar with rigorous time frames to help secure school improvement

p.5

What does the school need to do to improve further?

using established assessment practices to ensure targets are always robust, realistic and challenging ensuring that the monitoring of the school's work, including of teaching and the school development planning, is rigorous, regular and focuses sharply on the impact on pupils' learning developing the role of subject leaders to ensure they are fully accountable for standards and progress.

p.5

Outcomes for individuals and groups of pupils 3

Pupils enjoy many lessons, especially when the lessons interest and inspire them, such as when older pupils study good quality photographs to consider issues of personal safety. They make good progress too when they work independently on activities which develop creativity and allows them to 'put their own stamp' on their work, such as when they produce art-work in the style of Henri Rousseau. They especially enjoy undertaking investigations, such as when pupils in Years 3 and 4 investigate shadows. However, progress slows when pupils complete worksheets in mathematics that do not motivate them. Children enter the school from a variety of starting points which are close to, or a little below, what is typical. Achievement is satisfactory for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, although the more-able pupils do not always make the progress of which they are capable. By the end of Year 6, pupils reach standards

p.5

Outcomes for individuals and groups of pupils 3

in English, mathematics and science which are broadly average. Pupils' rate of progress in mathematics in Key Stage 1 has been declining since 2008. However, the much clearer focus on analysing data for individual pupils and the introduction of initiatives, such as mental mathematics has helped to stop this decline. Nevertheless, the school's targets to Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms

Outcomes for individuals and groups of pupils 3

help raise standards are only moderately challenging, and accelerating progress in all subjects remains an important focus. Daily activities such as 'Activate' and palm-massaging provide evidence of the very high profile given to health promotion strategies. As a result pupils are very aware of the benefits of exercise and what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. They readily discuss how healthy are school meals in comparison with packed lunches. They feel safe and secure in school and say that there is always someone to turn to. Pupils have a voice through the work of the school council. However, some say they would like the buddy scheme and the buddy bench to be reinstated. Links with the wider community are good. For example, the eco club supports Wawne in Bloom', there are strong links with the parish council and the school has submitted an application for a community garden. Pupils develop citizenship by

raising money for local and national charities. Pupils' average standards for the important skills of literacy and numeracy mean that they are adequately prepared for the next stage of their education. Attendance is above average because pupils enjoy coming to school. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good and underpins learning.

How effective is the provision?

Although some teaching is good, overall it is satisfactory. Secure relationships, sound subject knowledge, effective control strategies and much use of encouragement and praise are features of most lessons. Teaching assistants usually support pupils with special Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms

educational needs and/or disabilities well to help ensure that they make similar progress to their classmates. However, weaknesses in lessons prevent pupils from making good progress. For example, work is sometimes too easy while at other times it is too hard. Pupils sometimes have too little time to work independently because the pace of lessons is too slow. Pupils are not always clear how to evaluate success in lessons so that they know what the next step is. Pupils have targets in literacy and numeracy to steer their learning. However, marking does not always help them improve as well as acknowledge what they have achieved. The curriculum provides pupils with a wide range of interesting activities, which promote enjoyment in learning, and contribute well to their personal development. Well-presented wall displays provide evidence that barriers between subjects are being broken down. As a result pupils gain a well-rounded understanding of the themes they study. Art and

p.7

information and communication technology are high profile. For example, pupils in Years 3 and 4 make their own cartouche using hieroglyphs in work on ancient Egypt while pupils in Years 5 and 6 create a virtual tour of Wawne. Sports coaches lead good quality physical education lessons. However, numeracy skills through other subjects and problem solving activities linked to real life are given too little emphasis in mathematics. Visits, such as to Beverley Minster, and visitors, such as a Sikh, and a range of after school clubs, such as skipping, dance and games, help enrich pupils' experiences. Staff know pupils well, are friendly and welcoming and give much time to their care and support. Pupils thrive as a result of this positive climate. The school has established strong partnerships with outside agencies which help to ensure that vulnerable pupils have the support they need to make sound progress, both personally and academically. Pupils

Transition arrangements for the many pupils joining the school, between key stages and with the high school to which most pupils transfer are good, ensuring a smooth and seamless move.

How effective are leadership and management?

The headteacher demonstrates the ability to tackle important weaknesses. Priorities for development are the right ones but there is not enough rigour in the pursuit of them. There is good team spirit and staff, parents and governors believe the school is well led. However, leadership overall is satisfactory. Leaders obtain pertinent information about pupils and their performance because tracking arrangements are firmly established. As a result those falling behind are given extra help. Nevertheless, the pace of school Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms

p.7

How effective are leadership and management?

improvement is not rapid enough, with few rigorous timescales to help accelerate learning. Subject leaders do not have sufficient opportunities to check pupils' progress. The monitoring of teaching is not regular enough and does not give enough attention to how well pupils learn, rather than how well teachers teach. Assessment arrangements are not yet fully embedded to ensure robust and challenging targets for pupils are set and pursued. The governing body meets its statutory requirements, challenges the school appropriately but is not yet involved enough in leading the school's direction or holding it to account. Partnerships with parents and carers are good and most believe, rightly, that their children are happy, safe and secure in school. Partnerships with a range of institutions and agencies, such as the local high school and performing arts' college, make a good contribution to pupils' learning and well-being. The school is inclusive and discrimination is

not tolerated. However, some pupils, usually the more able, are not always challenged enough to help them reach their potential. Safeguarding procedures, including health and safety systems and child protection arrangements, meet requirements. The school is a cohesive community with strong local links, such as with the parish council. Links with the wider world to help promote an understanding of cultural diversity are given a high profile through the school's good curriculum. Resources are soundly managed thus ensuring that the school provides satisfactory value for money.

Early Years Foundation Stage

Children make satisfactory progress as they move through the Early Years Foundation Stage and most children attain expected skills by the time they enter Year 1. There are good induction procedures for new children, who are well cared for. As a result they quickly settle, feel safe and secure, and enjoy school.

are helping to engage parents in their children's learning. Exciting learning opportunities are sometimes provided which children thoroughly enjoy, such as when they use a variety of resources to embellish their space pictures. The external area is being developed and provides a secure and stimulating environment which is increasingly used throughout the day. However, sometimes, when children are engaged in 'free choice' activity, adults both inside and outside do not communicate with the children often enough to help boost their language skills and promote learning. Staff work well together as an effective team, relationships are good and morale is high. The leader is brimming with ideas and is working hard and successfully to introduce initiatives to help improve provision and outcomes. Strategic planning is in its early stages, although priorities for development are the right ones. However, the very recent action plan does not contain rigorous timeframes

Views of parents and carers

Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the way their children are educated and nurtured in school. Negative responses covered a wide range of areas but were few, with no clear trends emerging. Inspectors found no evidence to support the view of a small number of parents that the school does not deal with unacceptable behaviour effectively and does not keep them informed about their children's progress or takes account of their suggestions and concerns. Inspectors also found no evidence that the school insufficiently helps parents and carers to support their child's learning or that the school does not meet their child's needs. However, inspectors agreed with the small number who shared views that the school's rigorous approach to the promotion of healthy lifestyles, is compromised by the school meals, which do not always provide the healthiest options, and therefore gives pupils 'mixed messages'. Most parents and carers think the

school is well led and managed and that teaching is good. Inspectors judge both these important aspects as satisfactory. Almost all parents and carers say their children enjoy school and believe rightly that their children are kept safe.

New school inspection arrangements were introduced on 1 September 2009. This means that inspectors now make some additional judgements that were not made previously. The data in the table above are for the period 1 September 2009 to 31 August 2010 and are consistent with the latest published official statistics about maintained school inspection outcomes (see www.ofsted.gov.uk ). The sample of schools inspected during 2009/10 was not representative of all sc hools nationally, as weaker schools are inspected more frequently than good or outstanding schools. Percentages are rounded and do not always add exactly to 100. Sixth form figures reflect the judgements made for the overall effectiveness of the sixth form in secondary schools, special schools and pupil referral units.

Inspection of Wawne Primary School, Hull, HU7 5XT

Thank you for being so friendly and talking to the inspectors when we visited your school recently to find out how well you are learning. We enjoyed being in your school, visiting your lessons and listening to what you had to say. We judge that you go to a properly run school that is giving you a satisfactory education. Your parents and carers sent messages to tell me that they like lots of things about your school. I agree with most of what they had to say. You told me that you like your school too. These are some of the good things about your school.  You enjoy your lessons and most of you behave well.  You know very well about the importance of staying healthy and keeping safe.  The curriculum is good and there are interesting activities for you to do.  Adults take good care of you and you are happy in school.  Your attendance is better than in most schools. You make satisfactory progress as you move through the school. To help you make good

progress and to make sure that your school becomes a good school, I am asking your headteacher, teachers and governors of the school to:  improve lessons so that they are all good, especially making sure they give you enough time to work on your own and at the right level, and that you always know what you are learning and how to improve  check regularly how well the school is doing so they can find out what needs to be done to make it better and that improvements happen more quickly  develop your mathematical skills in other subjects and give you more opportunity to solve interesting problems about real things. Well done everyone. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to try hard, come to school every day and continue to enjoy learning.
