Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. From starting points which are well below those expected for their age, pupils make good progress to reach average standards by the end of Year 2. Pupils generally receive good teaching and there are examples of outstanding practice.

All groups of pupils, including those who are disabled or who have special educational needs and those known to be eligible for the pupil premium, make good progress. This is because of the good quality support they receive. Pupils have many memorable experiences including a wide variety of exciting visits and visitors to school throughout the year.

Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe. They behave we...ll around the school and enjoy taking on responsibilities. Attendance is average and continues to improve.

Leaders know how well the school is performing and what needs to be done to improve. They check the quality of teaching and the progress of individual children thoroughly. The headteacher is well supported by a knowledgeable and highly involved governing body which has rigorously challenged leaders at all levels.

It is not yet an outstanding school because: There is not enough teaching that is outstanding and a small pocket of less effective teaching remains to be addressed. Some teaching does not always offer enough challenge, and as a result, this slows the rate at which pupils make progress, especially the more able. Occasionally some teachers talk for too long at the beginning of lessons, which limits the time pupils have to do their work.

Although marking is regular and most teachers give pupils ideas of how to improve, pupils are not given enough opportunities to judge their own successes or to respond to teachers' marking.

Information about this school

Durrington All Saints is a smaller than average-sized Infants school. An above average percentage of pupils are eligible for the pupil premium (extra funding to support pupils eligible for free school meals, those looked after by the local authority and those from service families).

A high proportion of pupils are from service families. Most pupils are White British. The percentage of pupils supported at school action is well-above average.

The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also well-above average. There is a before and after-school club and a pre-school on the school site; these are not managed by the governing body and were not part of this inspection. The school has undergone considerable staff turbulence since the last inspection.
