Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils' attainment is above average in reading, writing and mathematics, and continues to improve.

Most pupils in all years make good progress in many subjects. Teaching is good and, occasionally, better. Excellent relationships promote pupils' self-confidence and independence, and encourage their enthusiastic attitudes to learning.

Pupils' behaviour is outstanding. They are lively, curious and eager to help each other. They feel very safe at school, and are well cared for.

Parents and carers have great confidence in the way the school handles their behaviour and personal development. Children are given a fine start to their edu...cation in the Nursery and Reception classes, where staff have an excellent understanding of their individual needs. The school is led confidently and decisively by the headteacher.

School staff and leaders have high morale, and share similar ambitions to accelerate school improvement. Pupils are provided with a rich and exciting range of learning activities in and out of school. These enhance pupils' basic skills in literacy and numeracy, and help create a thriving learning environment.

The governing body is well led, has a good understanding of the school's priorities for improvement, and continues to offer strong support for many activities. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching is yet outstanding in order to enable some pupils to reach the well-above-average standards of which they are capable. Pupils do not receive consistent guidance on how to improve their basic writing skills and present their work neatly and accurately.

Subject leaders in the school have not had enough opportunities to check on teaching and learning or observe examples of good or outstanding practice in order to develop higher skills.

Information about this school

Lakefield Church of England Primary School is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Nearly all pupils are White British, the remainder coming from a range of other ethnic heritages.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The proportion of pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional funding for children looked after by the local authority, pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children of service families) is below average.

There are currently no children of service families in the school. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school is organised into seven single-year classes and a Nursery.

The school provides a well-attended breakfast club and an after-school club, which are both managed by the governing body. Since the last inspection, there have been a number of staff changes, sometimes on a temporary basis due to several maternity leaves. Following the resignation of the former headteacher, an interim headteacher was in place during the spring term, and the present permanent headteacher took up the post in April this year.
