Although the school is doing well there are still things it can improve. Your teachers are good at asking you questions that help you learn well and giving you time to share your ideas, but sometimes some of you need different questions that provide you with just the right amount of challenge. We have also asked teachers to make sure that they give you enough time in lessons to get on with your independent work. These are things that will make sure you all make the progress of which you are capable in every lesson. One more thing we have asked is for the leaders and managers of your school to help teachers share ideas with each other so that all your lessons are as good as the very best ones we saw.

We discovered that the school has many strengths. Perhaps the one that will interest you most is our judgement about the teaching. Almost all the lessons we observed were really good and some were outstanding. Your teachers are very skilled in finding imaginative ways to capture your interest and, for your part, you respond very well to the challenging tasks they set. It was good to see you assessing your own work and that of your classmates. You have a really good idea of what makes good writing and try to include the ‘VCOP’ (vocabulary, connectives, openers and punctuation) criteria. We felt that, because most of you are really good readers, you might also try to use some of the ways that authors use to engage their readers. We know some of you are already adopting a ‘magpie’ approach! We focused on writing because this is weaker than reading and mathematics, and we have set the school a target for improvement. That said, we saw some great work in mathematics, science

29 May 2008 Dear Pupils Inspection of Emmbrook Junior School,Wokingham,RG41 1JR As you know, I visited your school recently I particularly enjoyed speaking to the school council and your afternoon assembly in which you showed me some of your achievements. My report says that yours is a satisfactory school. This means that some things are good but there are some aspects that could be better. I can see why you get on well with your headteacher and like your teachers a lot. They are very friendly and want the best for you. You rightly told me behaviour in your school is good, bullying is very rare and that you particularly liked the many clubs on offer. By the time you leave school you reach the standards expected for your age in English, mathematics and science which enables you to make a sound start to secondary school. However, the work you do in other subjects is often better. For example, the good opportunities you have to undertake research,

10 June 2008 Dear Pupils Inspection of High Close School,Wokingham,RG40 1TT Thank you for all the help you gave us when we visited your school on 23 May 2008. Many of you told us that you think that High Close is a good school where you make good progress. You say that you have made friends, and that everyone's behaviour is greatly improved. We agree with you. You also mentioned that the staff are always ready to help you and we could see that you are ready to help others. A good example of this is the school council, which makes decisions that improve school life. You clearly appreciate some of the extra activities you take part in and the trips out of school, such as the ski trip abroad. These are definitely strong features of the school. In addition, we also noticed the impressive way you took on roles in the production of the Wizard of Oz. The principal and senior team have an extremely clear understanding of the school's strengths
