Key findings

Bealings is an outstanding school. Pupils become confident and competent learners and are highly motivated because they experience an exciting, memorable curriculum and are expertly taught. Consequently, pupils' achievement and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are outstanding.

Pupils make rapid and sustained progress from varying starting points when they join the school. Attainment by end of Year 6 is well above average. Pupils joining the school mid key stage, disabled pupils and those with special educational needs, and those who speak English as an additional language all make equally rapid progress.

Within the context of imaginative situations that are made real to ...pupils, teachers are highly adept at inspiring pupils so that they want to find out and do more and more. Teachers know individual pupils very well because of their close monitoring of progress and they very carefully guide the development of skills within the learning contexts. Pupils' exceptional commitment to learning is evident in their total immersion in activities and eagerness to write, find things out, plan, and solve problems.

Pupils' behaviour is outstanding and pupils feel very safe in school. Through the weekly whole-school meeting run by pupils, they have a strong say in what happens in school. However, there is no forum to consult pupils fully on what helps or hinders their learning.

Leaders, staff and the governing body share a very strong commitment to the achievement of all pupils. Staff are constantly seeking to improve learning experiences and teaching is monitored frequently. Well-focused professional development and performance management of all staff result in high quality provision.

Overall, parents and carers are highly supportive of the school. A few have concerns about how well the school communicates with them and how their children are learning.

Information about the school

The school is much smaller than an average-sized primary school.

Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is above average and the proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is similar to most schools. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average.

The proportion of pupils supported by school action or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. A significant number of pupils join the school at times other than the usual start in the Reception class and similarly leave the school at times other than the end of Year 6. The school meets the current floor standards which set the government's minimum expectations for attainment and progress.
