It serves mainly Blockley and the surrounding villages, but children travel from as far as Moreton-in-Marsh and Broadway. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is 6.5 per cent which is below the national average. However, this does not truly reflect the socio-economic status of the surrounding area. The occupations of parents and carers are variable; a significant number have professional backgrounds, but a number are employed in manual occupations and some are unemployed. A minority of pupils live with one parent. The school is smaller than other primaries with 144 pupils. There are equal numbers of boys and girls. All pupils are of white United Kingdom heritage and no pupils use English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils identified as having special educational needs is 33 per cent and this is higher than the national average. There are no pupils with statements of special educational needs. Children begin school at the start of the academic year in which they will be five. Attainment on entry is slightly lower than that of other schools in the county and nationally. The pupils are spilt into five classes which vary each year depending on individual cohort numbers; these are currently Reception and Year 1; Year 1 and Year 2; Year 2 and Year 3; Year 4 and 5; Year 5 and 6. The school has clearly identified pupils who are gifted or talented. HOW GOOD THE SCHOOL IS This is a very effective school where all pupils, including those with special educational needs, achieve well and are fully included in all aspects of school life. All children, many with below average skills on entry into school, achieve well and attain above average standards in English, mathematics and science by the end of Year 6. This is because the school is exceptionally well led and the overall quality of teaching and learning is very good. The school provides very good value for money. What the school does well · Standards are above national averages in English, mathematics and science at the end of both Years 2 and 6. · The quality of teaching and learning is very good overall. Teachers are highly professional and work together very well as a team. · The leadership and management of the headteacher are excellent and staff with responsibilities monitor and evaluate teaching and learning very effectively. · The attitudes and behaviour of the pupils in Years 1 to 6 are very good. Pupils develop excellent relationships with both their peers and adults in school. · The curriculum provided throughout the school is very good and all pupils are fully included in the wide and varied activities on offer. Provision for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is very good. · The school works very closely with parents and the local community. What could be improved · This school has no major areas of weaknesses. The areas for improvement will form the basis of the governors’ action plan. HOW THE SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED SINCE ITS LAST INSPECTION The school was last inspected in March 1998 and has made very good improvements since then. All key issues have been thoroughly considered and improvements implemented. For instance, the school now meets statutory requirements in information and communication technology. Assessment is now well established and this ensures that work is suitably planned to meet the needs of all pupils. The school has adopted successful approaches to extending the above average pupils and this enables them Blockley Church of England Primary School - 4 to achieve their full potential. Co-ordinators now have a very specific role and have a clear understanding of achievement in their subject. In addition to these improvements, there has been an overall improvement in standards, the quality of teaching and learning is now very good and there is excellent leadership and management by the headteacher and her key staff. The attitudes and behaviour of the pupils have also improved and are now of very good quality. Staff are fully committed to continual improvements and have an excellent capacity to do so. STANDARDS The table shows the standards achieved by pupils at the end of Year 6 based on average point scores in National Curriculum tests. compared with similar Performance in: all schools Key schools 1999 2000 2001 2001 Very high A* English B A A A Well above average A Above average B Mathematics B B A* A Average C Below average D Science C C A A Well below average E Over the past three years it is evident from assessments made on entry into school that overall attainment into the Reception class is just below the recommended levels for this age group. By the time the pupils are ready to start Year 1 of the National Curriculum, standards are in line with the recommended levels for this age. When pupils reach Year 2 of the National Curriculum, they are attaining standards in English, mathematics and science that are above the national average. These good standards are maintained in Years 3 to 6. Current standards in Years 2 and 6 are slightly lower than those of 2001 when results were well above average. However, this dip is due to a significant proportion of pupils who have special educational needs. These good standards in the key skills of literacy and numeracy have a positive impact on achievement in other subjects such as history, geography, design and technology and information and communication technology where literacy and numeracy skills are required. Trends over time are above the national average. The school carefully sets targets for achievement and is very well placed to make further improvements in its standards. PUPILS’ ATTITUDES AND VALUES Aspect Comment Attitudes to the school Pupils have very positive attitudes to school and are fully involved in all activities. Behaviour, in and out of Pupils behave very well in lessons, during assemblies and at playtimes. classrooms There is no evidence of anti-social behaviour around school. Personal development and There is a very strong climate of co-operation and friendliness amongst relationships pupils. Their efforts are rewarded by excellent relationships in school. Attendance Attendance rates are good because parents understand the importance of their children attending regularly. Pupils generally arrive on time. Blockley Church of England Primary School - 5 TEACHING AND LEARNING Teaching of pupils in: Nursery and Years 1 – 2 Years 3 – 6 Reception Quality of teaching Very good Very good Very 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. The overall quality of teaching and learning throughout the school is very good. During the inspection, 17 lessons or part-sessions were observed; three of these were excellent, ten were very good and four were good. Teachers have very good subject knowledge and teach the basic skills of literacy and numeracy effectively. They have very high expectations of standards of work and behaviour and all pupils are fully included in every aspect of school life.
