Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Waverley Abbey is a happy, cohesive and inclusive school. Pupils are proud of their school and are keen to learn.

Good achievement has been maintained since the last inspection. Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils' overall attainment is consistently much higher than the national average.

Pupils' progress has accelerated rapidly during the past year, especially in mathematics, because aspects of teaching have improved. Better marking means that pupils are very clear about how well they are doing in their work and know what they need to do to move their learning forward. Pupils behave well and feel very sa...fe.

Pupils and adults treat each other with respect. The headteacher has a clear, precise and accurate view of the school's strengths and of priorities for future development. The role of the governing body has developed rapidly.

The governing body plays a very effective role in helping to drive improvements. The headteacher, governing body and senior leaders have successfully secured improvements in teaching, including an increased focus on pupils' progress. This has ensured that the school's overall effectiveness continues to be good.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is not enough outstanding teaching to secure the highest levels of achievement. Teachers have too few opportunities to learn from the outstanding teaching in the school. Subject leaders' roles in checking the quality of teaching and in securing improvements are not fully developed.
