Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and staff are ambitious for every pupil. They share a common goal of excellence for all.

Pupils achieve well thanks to the culture of aspiration and care throughout the school. Pupils and staff enjoy coming to school each day. The headteacher has led the school with great skill and good judgement through a period of continued improvement.

He is very well supported by an effective and determined team of senior leaders. Governors and trustees are effective in holding senior leaders to account. They are not complacent, and constantly seek ways to improve their performance and their understanding of the school.

However, leade...rs are not precise enough in planning the next steps for school improvement. Too often, leaders measure success by the actions they have taken and not the impact of these actions on school improvement. Parents feel respected and play an active part of their children's education.

They know that their opinions are taken seriously and value the support they receive from teachers. Pupils' learning benefits from an inspiring and memorable curriculum. Their appetite for learning is satisfied by lessons that are planned to capture their imagination and interest.

Pupils' personal development and welfare are outstanding. Pupils are well prepared for each new stage of their education and for life in the world beyond the school gates. Pupils' lunchtime behaviour is not as good as it is at other times of the school day.

Children make an outstanding start to their school life in the early years. Excellent leadership and teaching ensure that children's learning and development progress quickly and that they achieve well. Pupils attain well over time.

Some groups such as the least able and disadvantaged pupils make particularly good progress during their time at the school. Nonetheless, the teaching of phonics is not consistent. Learning tasks are not well enough matched to pupils' abilities, particularly the most able.

Information about this school

Kirby Muxloe Primary School is larger than the average-sized primary school and serves a semi-rural village. It is a stand-alone academy, having converted in 2013. Its predecessor school, with the same name, was judged to be good when inspected in 2012.

Pupils are taught in single-age classes, including children in the early years, who attend full time. The vast majority of children of pupils are of White British heritage and there are very small numbers of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds or who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils eligible for the pupil premium is significantly below the national average.

The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is below the national average. In 2015 the school met the national floor standards for pupil achievement. The school complies with DfE guidance on what academies should publish.
