Key findings

This is an outstanding school. It provides exciting, challenging opportunities for all of its pupils and has no real weaknesses. Traditionally opportunities for art, design, music and drama have been planned as part of topic work based around English, mathematics and science, whilst topics that have stemmed from the creative arts have been fewer in number.

Children enter the Reception class at the expected levels for their age. They make outstanding progress to reach Year 1 above the expected levels. Achievement is excellent because the warm, welcoming atmosphere helps them to settle quickly and take an active part in the exciting opportunities on offer.

All groups of pupils, including those w...ho begin school later than normal, make rapid and sustained progress from their starting points and have reached levels that have been significantly above average in reading, writing and mathematics for the last five years. Teaching is outstanding because expectations are consistently high. Staff share their own excellent subject knowledge and understanding to plan imaginative tasks which capture the pupils' interests and are based on accurate assessments of pupils' learning.

The school is a cohesive community. The positive ethos which permeates the school results in exceptional levels of social, moral, spiritual and cultural development. Behaviour is outstanding because pupils are highly involved in their own learning and have the confidence to take risks and work independently.

High quality professional development has increased the leadership and management skills of all staff since the previous inspection. As a result, despite a change of headteacher, the school has maintained its highly successful drive for continuous improvement through its rigorous monitoring and evaluation of staff and pupil performance. The governors make an outstanding contribution to the work of the school at all levels.

Information about the school

Hyde Heath Infant School is a smaller-than-average-sized infant school. Most pupils are of White British heritage. A few Gypsy Roma pupils attend the school but, overall, the proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is well below average.

There is one pupil known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well below average at school action, one pupil has a statement of special educational needs and there are no pupils supported by school action plus. There are a few pupils who join and leave the school at different times.

Children enter the Early Years Foundation Stage into one Reception class. There is a privately run pre-school on site which is not managed by the governing body, and was not a part of this inspection. A new headteacher was appointed in April 2012.
