Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Achievement is outstanding throughout the school in reading, writing and mathematics, for all pupils regardless of ability or background.

Pupils' attainment was above average for several years in the predecessor school and continues to rise. Excellent teaching helps pupils to make rapid progress in their learning in a range of subjects. Teachers are particularly skilled in giving different pupils work that is at just the right level for them.

During lessons, they continually check up on progress to ensure that all are doing as well as possible. Pupils behave extremely well and are very keen to learn. Excellent relationships betwe...en pupils themselves, and with the adults, underpin the school's many strengths.

Pupils feel extremely safe in school, and have great trust in the adults to look after them. There is outstanding provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Children get an excellent start to their schooling because of the outstanding provision in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

A constant focus by leaders and managers on the quality of teaching and the achievement of all pupils ensures that both are excellent. Very effective procedures, to keep a detailed track of each pupil's progress, greatly enhance this. The marking of pupils' work is good but has some minor shortcomings.

Information about this school

Ashby Hill Top is slightly larger than the average primary school. The large majority of pupils are White British, with a few coming from a range of minority ethnic heritages. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of pupils entitled to support from the pupil premium, because they are known to be eligible for free school meals, is below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs who are supported at school action is average. The proportion supported at school action plus, or who have statements of special education needs, is below average.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations set for pupils' attainment and progress. Ashby Hill Top Primary converted to become an academy school on 1 October 2012. When its predecessor school, Ashby Hill Top Primary, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be good.

There were no changes to staffing, and only minor alterations to the individual membership of the governing body, because of this change of status. A breakfast club runs on the school site for pupils from this school and from another local school. This provision is managed privately, and is inspected and reported upon separately.
