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.

Two or three biographical notices, written by those who highly appreciated him and who deeply mourn his loss, have already appeared in the newspapers; and I therefore wish to add only a few words about one whose kind smile of welcome will greet us no more in this life. Joseph Arthur Gibbs was one of those rare natures who combine a love of outdoor life, cricket and sport of every kind, with a refined and scholarly taste for literature.
