Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good progress and achieve well. By the time they leave school, standards in reading, writing and mathematics are well above the national average.

Teaching is good. Paired work ensures that pupils develop strong social and communication skills. Children in Reception benefit from good provision and achieve well.

This ensures they have a good start to their education. Teaching assistants support pupils' learning well. Specific, targeted support is precise and of high quality.

Pupils' behaviour is good and they are keen to learn. Teachers plan activities that encourage pupils to be independent and develop positive attitu...des in lessons. The executive headteacher is determined, committed and ambitious for the school.

He has successfully united the two school communities in the federation. The federation has strengthened many aspects of the school. Strong, determined actions have brought about sustained improvements to pupils' achievement.

The varied activities planned have a strong local flavour that interest pupils and create a very strong sense of community. Governors play a big part in checking on the work of the school. They have an open and trusting relationship with the executive headteacher.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Some small adjustments are needed to check if the plans for improvement are working. Leaders, other than the executive headteacher, are not yet playing a full part in school improvement across the federation. Teachers' use of questioning is not precise enough to check on how well pupils are learning in lessons.

A small number of Year 3 pupils are not making the same progress as their peers.

Information about this school

The school is much smaller than the average primary school with 50 pupils. Since the previous inspection, the school has federated with Bishop's Nympton Primary School.

The two schools form the Exmoor Link Federation. The executive headteacher leads, and a single governing body serves, both schools. Bishop's Nympton Primary School was inspected at the same time as part of this coordinated inspection.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is average. The proportions of pupils supported at school action (9.6%), and at school action plus or with statements of special educational needs (7.

7%), are similar to the national average. The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium provided to schools by the government to support pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals is below average at 9.6%.

Due to the very small size of the school, the numbers in identified groups for each year are often individual pupils. There is a privately run pre-school on site for three days a week. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' standards and progress.
