Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Strong leadership from the executive headteacher, supported by the governing body, the head of teaching and learning, and the staff has led to significant improvements, particularly in teaching and achievement. Joint staff training and collaboration by leaders within the federation with two other local schools have contributed strongly to the improvements.

Pupils' progress by the end of Year 6 is now outstanding, regardless of their starting points and of any special educational needs. Attainment is high with a marked improvement in English in 2012. Children make an excellent start in Reception.

Progress is improving rapidly as a... result of the high-quality teaching and care they receive. Teaching is outstanding and pupils' learning is checked carefully so that work is at the right level. Pupils are absorbed in their work.

Marking indicates clearly how to improve but pupils do not routinely respond to deepen their understanding of points for improvement. Pupils' behaviour is outstanding and they flourish within a very caring and supportive environment. Pupils report they feel very safe in the school.

Pupils benefit from a rich range of activities in all the subjects and develop skills in literacy and numeracy particularly well. Procedures for checking how well the school is doing are very thorough and provide an accurate view of strengths and areas for development. The impact of actions taken is checked very effectively.

Information about this school

Stokenham is a small school that serves a mainly White British community from the village and the surrounding area. The school is part of the South Hams Federation of three primary schools. One of these, Loddiswell Primary School, has joined the federation since the previous inspection.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs and need extra help is below average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding in this school for pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is below that found nationally. More pupils join or leave the school at other than the usual times than in most schools.

The school meets the current government floor standards that set minimum expectations of pupils' attainment and progress. Pre-school provision on the school site is managed by two independent organisations and not by the governing body. These are subject to separate inspections and the most recent reports can be found on the Ofsted website.
