Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

The new headteacher has greatly improved teaching and created a strong staff team who work well together. All leaders, including governors and subject leaders, have an accurate view of how well the school is performing. They work effectively together to continue to make improvements.

Pupils make good progress across all subjects, including reading, writing and mathematics. Teaching is good because teachers and teaching assistants effectively develop pupils' skills, knowledge and understanding in a wide range of subjects. Pupils' behaviour is outstanding because they show excellent attitudes to their learning.

Such attitudes cont...ribute very well to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. All groups of pupils achieve well, including disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs. Pupils are safe in school as they are very well cared for.

Children make a good start to their school life as they enjoy their learning and make strong progress in the early years. The governing body is effective. It is well led by the chair and has improved the ways it holds school leaders to account.

Recent improvements have led to governors becoming effective partners in supporting and challenging the school to make further improvements. Leaders are valued and trusted by the headteacher. As a result they have effectively driven improved achievement in the school.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : The most-able pupils are not always sufficiently challenged in their mathematical activities. The improvements in writing standards are not fully established with regard to grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Information about this school

Coughton is smaller than the average-sized primary school.

Children in Reception are in a mixed class with Year 1 pupils. The Reception children attend full time. There are four other classes made up from pupils in Year 2, Years 3 and 4, Years 4 and 5 and Year 6.

A very large majority of pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils supported through the pupil premium is well-below average. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or those children in the care of the local authority.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is similar to the national average. The school meets the government's floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2. The headteacher took up his post in January 2014.
