    Ofsted Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester T 0300 123 4234 M1 2WD www.gov.uk/ofsted 24 November 2017 Mrs Caroline Burton Hatherop Church of England Primary School Hatherop Cirencester Gloucestershire GL7 3NA Dear Mrs Burton Short inspection of Hatherop Church of England Primary School Following my visit to the school on 14 November 2017, I write on behalf of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills to report the inspection findings. The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in November 2013. This school continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since your appointment in January 2017, you have tightened the tracking of pupils’ progress. This has helped teachers to intervene more swiftly if pupils are not making adequate progress. You are aware that the most able pupils have not achieved well enough at greater depth in the end-of-key- stage tests. Your knowledge of pupils’ progress is sharpening the focus on these pupils. You are supporting the other teachers to understand the data, too. As a result, pupils are achieving well and more are reaching their potential. You want to maintain this focus. You have ensured that the school remains a focal point of the local community. Parents value the education that you are providing. You make sure that pupils experience different activities. Pupils respect each other and the staff. As one parent commented, ‘The staff, facilities, activities and parents’ community are all excellent.’ Since the last inspection, you have worked hard to improve pupils’ writing.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • River Leach – Cotswold Fly Fishers
    River Leach – Cotswold Fly Fishers A Project Proposal by the Wild Trout Trust - April 2015 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to the River Leach on water controlled by the Cotswold Fly Fishers (CFF). The CFF water runs from a short distance downstream of the village of Southrop to just upstream of Lechlade Mill. The water is split into two beats running either side of the A361 at Little Faringdon, with a short gap in the middle where the river runs through the Lechlade Trout Fishery and fish farm. Approximately 3km of channel was inspected in all, from a point at National Grid Ref SP 208 031 down to SU 230998. The Leach is classified as being of “moderate status” under the Water Framework Directive. Waterbody ID no. GB106039030040. The visit was initially requested by Jim Seymour, Fisheries Technical Officer with the Environment Agency. The Environment Agency, in partnership with the CFF and the Cotswold Rivers Trust (CRT) are seeking to identify reaches of river where habitat quality might be restricting rivers from meeting their full potential, and where there might be scope for enhancement. In recent years, wild brown trout Salmo trutta numbers appear to have dropped and all parties are keen to explore options to support and improve local fish populations. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. David Reinger (CFF) and Mr. Trevor Cramphorn (CFF and CRT). Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification, i.e.
