Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Senior leaders and governors have taken robust action to tackle past weaknesses. This has led to significant improvements since the last inspection. Past weaknesses in mathematics are largely resolved.

Pupils now make good progress. The school works hard to meet the needs of all pupils. Disadvantaged pupils are currently learning at a faster rate so that the gaps between their attainment and that of other pupils are closing.

Provision to support disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is outstanding. Teaching is good. Pupils are appropriately challenged to make good progress in most lessons.

Systems... for checking pupils' progress are well established. Behaviour is good. Pupils feel very safe.

They have very positive attitudes to learning. They behave well and produce good quality written work. Extra-curricular provision is extensive and well supported.

Governance has improved. Governors are well informed about pupils' achievement and the quality of teaching and are increasingly effective in supporting school improvement. It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is not yet enough outstanding teaching to accelerate pupils' progress further.

Year 3 pupils are not sufficiently far advanced in developing well-formed joined handwriting. There are some associated weaknesses in spelling. There is insufficient awareness between the partner schools of the skills necessary to facilitate rapid progress in learning as pupils move between each phase of their education.

Information about this school

Kinsale Junior School is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Most pupils are of White British heritage. About one in every seven pupils is disabled or has special educational needs.

This is below the national average. The school meets the government's current floor standards. These set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics.

The proportion of disadvantaged pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after) is about one in every four pupils. This is close to the national average. The school shares a site with its partner infant school, a secondary school and a children's centre.

All of these are managed and inspected separately. Until its closure in July 2014, the school accommodated a specialist resourced base which supported up to 10 pupils with moderate learning difficulties. The school has the support of a National Leader of Education, who is the headteacher of Costessey Junior School, Norwich.
