INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOL

Brailsford Church of England Primary School is a small primary school serving a mixed but generally advantaged community. About four per cent of pupils are entitled to free school meals. This is below the national average. Pupils’ attainment when they start school is generally above what is typical for their age. At the time of the inspection there were 87 pupils taught in three classes. The percentage of pupils identified as having special educational needs is well below the national average and no pupils have statements of special educational needs. Pupils come from Brailsford and neighbouring villages; an increasing number of pupils come from the neighbouring town of Ashbourne. Pupil numbers are increasing and there will be four classes in school next year.

p.5

HOW GOOD THE SCHOOL IS

This is a good school with a number of outstanding features. Pupils’ attitudes to their work and the relationships between staff and pupils are excellent. The leadership of the headteacher, and the support the governing body gives him, are very good. Teaching is good, pupils learn well and standards are often well above those seen in most schools. The school gives good value for money.

p.5

What the school does well

• Pupils attain high standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they leave school. • The overall leadership of the headteacher and governing body is very good. • Pupils’ personal development is promoted very well and this encourages their excellent attitudes to their work and very good behaviour in class and around school. • The quality of teaching is good.

p.5

What could be improved

• Standards in information and communication technology in Key Stage 2. • The schemes of work for the non-core subjects, such as history, geography and music, need to be completed to fit in with the recently recommended national schemes. • The provision for pupils in the reception class by improving the range of climbing apparatus and wheeled vehicles available for their use. The areas for improvement will form the basis of the governors’ action plan.

p.5

HOW THE SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED SINCE ITS LAST INSPECTION

The school has made satisfactory overall progress since it was last inspected in April 1997. All five key issues for action in the last report have been addressed.

p.5

HOW THE SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED SINCE ITS LAST INSPECTION

• The headteacher now has one day a week to monitor teachers’ planning and teaching. • Individual records of attainment have been started for all pupils. Targets, based on previous attainment levels, are being set and tests will identify how pupils achieve the expected levels. • Work has been done to develop whole-school schemes of work in the non-core subjects such as history, geography and music. However, the introduction of new curricular guidance to match the demands of Curriculum 2000 has meant that there is still work to do to complete all schemes. • In the area of information and communication technology there have been a number of important developments. A new computer suite has been put in place and is almost ready Brailsford C of E Primary School - 6 for use. Computer programs that will ensure full coverage of all the Programmes of Study of the National Curriculum have been purchased. • Good progress has been made in other areas that were not key issues in the last

inspection report. Attainment in the National Curriculum tests and assessments (SATs) by Year 6 pupils in 2000 was in the top five per cent of schools in the country. This group of pupils has made very good progress compared to the standards they achieved as Year 2 pupils at the end of Key Stage 1. • The very good ethos seen in the school previously has been maintained, and pupils’ attitudes to their work and the relationships between staff and pupils are now excellent. • The governing body is now very effective in monitoring standards and what is happening in school. • The school demonstrates a good capacity to develop further.

schools

The school is doing well. Pupils in the year group which took the Year 6 National Curriculum tests and assessments (SATs) last year attained standards that, in English and mathematics, were in the top five per cent in the country. Results in science were well above average.

p.6

schools

This is a small school, this means that the results achieved by one or two children can affect the comparisons with other schools. However, it is clear that standards are high and pupils are achieving levels that are better than those seen in most schools.

p.6

schools

The results for the Year 6 pupils who took the National Curriculum tests and assessments (SATs) for eleven-year-olds in 2000 were particularly effective. Pupils attained standards that were in the top five per cent of schools in the country. The present Year 6, whilst working at a higher level than most pupils of their age, are not expected to match the very high standards of the group which left school last year. The school’s realistic targets for Year 6 are likely to be met.

p.6

schools

Results in the 2000 tests for seven-year-old pupils at the end of Key Stage 1, were well above the national average in reading, above average in writing but below average in mathematics. However, this was a particularly small year group of only six pupils and it is therefore difficult to make a comparison with other year groups. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 7 Standards of attainment in information and communication technology by the pupils in Key Stage 2 are below the expected level because staff have not yet been trained to teach some aspects of the subject. This training has already been arranged.

p.6

Aspect Comment

Attitudes to the school Excellent! Pupils are eager to start their lessons each day. They want to do well and they work very hard in lessons. A feature of these lessons is the way pupils become involved in their own learning.

p.7

Aspect Comment

Behaviour, in and out of classrooms Very good. The vast majority of pupils are well behaved and the school is an orderly community.

p.7

Aspect Comment

Personal development and relationships Very good. Relationships between staff and pupils are excellent. Pupils know their views are valued. The ‘family atmosphere’ means that staff know pupils well and encourage them to develop to their full potential.

p.7

Aspect Comment

Attendance Good; it is above the national average.

p.7

Teaching of pupils: Aged up to 5 years Aged 5-7 years Aged 7-11 years

Lessons seen overall Good Good Good Inspectors make judgements about teaching in the range: excellent; very good; good; satisfactory; unsatisfactory; poor; very poor. ‘Satisfactory’ means that the teaching is adequate and strengths outweigh weaknesses.

p.7

Teaching of pupils: Aged up to 5 years Aged 5-7 years Aged 7-11 years

No unsatisfactory teaching was seen in the 12 lessons seen during the two days of the inspection. Teaching was better than satisfactory in 75 per cent of lessons. Good teaching was seen in over half the lessons, 58 per cent, and very good teaching in two lessons for the oldest pupils.

p.7

Teaching of pupils: Aged up to 5 years Aged 5-7 years Aged 7-11 years

All the teaching of English and mathematics observed was good or very good. The National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies have been implemented well and this makes a good contribution to pupils’ learning. The major strength of teaching throughout the school is the way teachers relate to pupils. All teachers respect pupils’ views, plan work carefully to meet individual needs and have high expectations of what they should achieve. Where teaching is less effective, reasons are usually linked to the constraints of the school building and resources. For example the lack of some facilities in the temporary classroom for the youngest children makes it difficult to work with water, and there is a lack of sufficient large apparatus for these children to develop their physical skills.

p.7

Teaching of pupils: Aged up to 5 years Aged 5-7 years Aged 7-11 years

However, pupils throughout the school are learning well. The outstanding attitudes pupils have to their work means that they try hard, concentrate well and take full advantage of the good teaching they receive. The excellent ethos that has been created in the school means that everyone is dedicated to achieving high standards. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 8

p.7

Aspect Comment

The quality and range of the curriculum Satisfactory. The curriculum meets statutory requirements and pupils have equal access to the opportunities the school provides. There are strengths in the provision for English and mathematics because of the impact of the literacy and numeracy documents. Schemes of work for non-core subjects have not yet been completed to meet the recommendations of recently introduced national plans.

p.8

Aspect Comment

Provision for pupils with special educational needs Good. The two pupils on the register of special educational needs have good individual education plans that identify what they need to learn.

p.8

Aspect Comment

Provision for pupils’ personal, including spiritual, moral, social and cultural development The school’s provision for pupils’ social and moral development is very good. This enables pupils to develop the excellent attitudes, very good behaviour and sense of responsibility that underpins their good learning. There is sound provision for the spiritual and cultural development of pupils.

p.8

Aspect Comment

How well the school cares for its pupils Teachers know their pupils very well and are fully committed to their well-being. The school’s ethos and the very positive relationships between teachers and pupils ensure very effective personal and academic support. Pupils’ progress is tracked effectively.

p.8

Aspect Comment

Leadership and management by the headteacher and other key staff Very good overall. The headteacher has led the school well through a period of change. He is committed to pupils achieving well. Parents’ appreciation of the standards achieved has led to an increase in pupil numbers. He leads by example, supporting staff very well.

p.8

Aspect Comment

How well the governors fulfil their responsibilities The governors fulfil their responsibilities very well. They are well organised and bring many skills to help the school. Governors have a good oversight of the strengths of the school and the areas to be developed.

p.8

Aspect Comment

The school’s evaluation of its performance Good. Systems for monitoring and further improving the quality of teaching are in place. National test results in English, mathematics and science are analysed to track pupils’ progress and to set targets for future attainment.

p.8

Aspect Comment

The strategic use of resources Satisfactory. Funds are directed well to appropriate priorities. Resources for learning are used effectively and support staff in lessons are well used to aid pupils’ progress. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 9

p.8

What pleases parents most What parents would like to see improved

• They find the school approachable. • They consider teaching to be good. • Children are expected to work hard and do their best and are making good progress. • The school helps children to become more mature and responsible. • Their children like school. • Several would like to see more homework given to the older children. • Information about how their children are getting on. • The range of activities provided outside lessons. • Many parents feel the accommodation is inadequate.

p.9

What pleases parents most What parents would like to see improved

The majority of parents who returned the questionnaires and attended the meeting with the registered inspector have a very positive view of the school.

p.9

What pleases parents most What parents would like to see improved

Inspectors’ judgements agree with the positive views of all the parents. Inspection evidence shows that the school provides similar activities outside lessons to most small primary schools. We agree that the small classrooms limit some of the activities and seating arrangements in Key Stage 2. The lack of a hall means that some teaching time is lost as pupils walk to the village hall for physical education. Inspectors also agree that for parents who cannot visit the school during the day, the period of time between the two meetings for parents, in Autumn and Summer, might be too long to keep them up-to-date with the progress their children are making. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 10

p.9

Pupils attain high standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they

1. The range and quality of pupils’ work in English is impressive. Year 6 pupils discuss the story they are studying very well. They describe the ways in which Aladdin might have descended into a hole in the ground very imaginatively. They use similes well as they describe how he looks: ‘his eyes were as wide as dinner plates’. They effectively re-write some of the passages of the story, putting in their own phrases. Year 4 pupils accurately predict the ending of the story they are reading. Year 2 pupils are learning about the value of a dictionary; they know that if they are looking for words which begin with letters ‘x, y or z’ they should look at the end of the book because that is where these letters come in the alphabet. The youngest pupils are developing a good understanding of language. A pupil in the reception year correctly identifies the book they are reading as non-fiction because it gives information and does not tell a story.

p.10

Pupils attain high standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they

2. Teachers have used the National Literacy Strategy well to develop pupils’ skills in areas of mathematics such as mental arithmetic. Year 6 pupils confidently halve and double numbers. They identify accurately the lines of symmetry in shapes such as squares and triangles, and many recognise that there are so many lines of symmetry in a circle that it is impossible to number them. Year 4 pupils explain clearly how they have correctly divided 72 by 3. Pupils from Year 2 are also learning how to divide numbers and work out how many ‘hops’ of four they need to get to numbers such as 28. They collect information about the colour of cubes chosen and construct accurate block graphs to record the results. Children from the reception group are doing a similar task but use the cubes to build up a record of the different colours.

p.10

Pupils attain high standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they

3. Year 6 pupils recognise that electric power from a battery needs to have a complete circuit to light a bulb or activate a buzzer. They use symbols accurately when recording their work. Pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 recognise that most seeds begin to grow into plants in Spring, develop fully in Summer and then produce seeds again in Autumn.

The overall leadership of the headteacher and governing body is very good.

4. The school is given very clear direction by the leadership of the headteacher. He teaches the oldest pupils for most of the week, and therefore has to balance this commitment with his management role. He does this well. He leads by example and his enthusiasm for the school is shared by teaching and support staff. Parents feel that he is the reason why standards of attainment and behaviour are so good.

p.10

Pupils attain high standards in English, mathematics and science by the time they

5. The governing body has established itself as a positive force for development in the school. It saw the school successfully through a period when pupil numbers dropped and there were only two classes. Now, as the reputation of the school has reached parents in surrounding areas, numbers have increased and will increase further in the next school year. Governors are very supportive of the school, proud of the standards achieved, but still discuss all issues thoroughly. They bring a wide range of expertise to the school. The chair of governors, in particular, provides other governors with useful background information and gives the headteacher useful support by involving governors in activities such as writing the annual report to parents. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 11

p.10

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

excellent attitudes to their work and very good behaviour in class and around school.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

6. The school’s excellent ethos linked firmly to a caring Christian community means that the personal development of pupils is central to its work. It regards the high standards achieved to be closely linked to pupils’ attitudes to their work and the life of the school in general. The excellent relationships apparent in school, between adults and children and between children of all ages encourage open discussion. Pupils know their views will be valued and are confident when expressing them.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

7. The three classes all have pupils from three different year groups. This means that younger pupils in each class observe good attitudes and behaviour from older pupils. Pupils encourage one another well in lessons. This was seen, for example, in an English lesson for the oldest pupils when one pupil thought of an interesting phrase, ‘he shot into the hole like a bullet’. Generous congratulations followed, ‘Oh well done! I like that’. Older pupils naturally help younger ones in the playground and appreciate the ‘family atmosphere’ created in school.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

8. Pupils are encouraged to tackle their work in ways that suit them. They are given sound guidelines but know they have opportunities to present their work in different ways.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

9. The quality of teaching seen during the inspection was good. Very good teaching was seen in the class for the oldest pupils. No unsatisfactory teaching was seen.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

10. There were a number of significant strengths in the teaching seen. Foremost among these are the excellent relationships between teachers and pupils. This means that pupils are confident that their contributions to lessons will be valued, and willingly offer answers to questions and join in discussions. The enthusiasm of teachers helps to capture pupils’ attention and interest. In most of the lessons seen the working atmosphere was very purposeful and this helped pupils make good gains in their learning.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

11. Teachers identify clearly what they expect pupils to learn in lessons. This means that pupils understand the purpose of their activities and concentrate well on these objectives. Very good questioning helps pupils to sustain concentration well. An example of this was seen as pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 in the ‘top’ class were trying to re-write a passage from Aladdin. Each year group was encouraged to improve and refine their work as the teacher skilfully questioned them at the appropriate level.

p.11

Pupils’ personal development is very well promoted and this has encouraged their

12. Teachers are confident in the strategies needed for the literacy and numeracy lessons. These sessions are well planned, well presented and interesting. There is a good range of resources available for these subjects. This means that pupils are often using new, attractive books and other materials that interest them, and this encourages effective learning. 13. Less effective aspects of teaching were usually linked to the condition of the teaching areas or lack of resources. For example, physical education lessons are taken in a village hall without the range of apparatus usually found in a school hall.

p.11

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

Standards in information and communication technology in Key Stage 2. Brailsford C of E Primary School - 12 14. There are gaps in the provision made for pupils. Although some areas of the subject, such as word processing and producing work on computers which link pictures and words, are done well, other areas have not been developed as they could have been. One reason for this has been the emphasis paid to literacy and numeracy in the last three years. In a small school it is not always possible to develop teachers’ skills over a wide range of subjects in a short period of time. The particular gap in the provision has been identified as being the areas in which Key Stage 2 pupils control models by using computers. However some work has been done. The recently acquired computer suite will soon be operational. Computer programs, which deal with the ‘control’ aspects of the subject, have been bought and are ready to be used. The final

15. This area of school life again has been affected because of the small number of teachers employed. In a larger school each subject scheme of work might have one teacher producing the final document. In this school two or three teachers have to produce documents for all subjects. The school has recognised this as an area for development and work has already been started. The move from three to four classes also has implications for this work. From September each class will have two year groups instead of three. This has meant that plans have had to be adapted.

16. There is a shortage of resources which can be used by the youngest children to develop their physical skills. This, combined with the situation where the village hall is used for indoor physical education, means that these children are getting fewer opportunities to develop these skills than children in other schools.

p.12

WHAT SHOULD THE SCHOOL DO TO IMPROVE FURTHER?

The governors, headteacher and staff should further improve the quality of education offered by:

p.12

• ensuring that all aspects of the Programmes of Study for information and communication technology are taught, and those pupils' skills in this subject are monitored and assessed;

p.12
