Information about the school

The school was first inspected in March 2012 when it was found to provide a good quality of education and all the requirements for registration were met in respect of the group of four pupils in Year 1 then on roll, and in respect of its registration at that time.

p.3

Context of the inspection

The school had applied early in 2012 to the Department for Education for a material change to extend its age range and the number of pupils on roll for which it was registered. The consideration of this proposal was made part of the March 2012 inspection. The school proposed to admit up to 30 pupils, including 10 children in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and to introduce a Year 2 class of six- and seven– year-olds. The material change was not recommended for approval because the school did not have the classroom space and appropriate facilities to meet the regulations should the additional pupils have been admitted.

p.3

Context of the inspection

The school drew up an action plan for improvement in response to the report. This was evaluated in August 2012 and judged to be satisfactory, subject to satisfactory implementation.

action plan

The inspection of March 2012 found that the intended Early Years Foundation Stage classroom was not large enough for the proposed number of children. Furthermore, if the proposed additional number were to be admitted, staff and pupils would not have had access to separate washroom facilities as required.

action plan

In response, the school planned to extend the classroom accommodation and to provide additional washrooms. As a result of implementing its plan, the school now occupies a further part of the ground floor of the building in which it operates. The proprietor has refurbished this provision so that it is suitable for use. The classroom provision now suitably accommodates 10 children in Reception Year in addition to accommodating the proposed 20 Key Stage 1 pupils. Standards of decoration, ventilation, heating, lighting and flooring all meet requirements. Risk assessments on the premises, activities and resources are thorough, ensuring that pupils, including children in the Early Years Foundation Stage, are safe and secure. The washroom facilities have been extended and are now sufficient for the staff and the proposed number of pupils including children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The learning
