Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Children get off to a good start in the Nursery and Reception classes. Achievement in English and mathematics is now good.

In the last year there has been a rapid improvement in the progress of pupils in Years 5 and 6, with some examples of outstanding progress in these year groups. The teaching of phonics (the sounds that letters make) has improved and, as a result, pupils in Year 1 make good progress and attain well in reading. Teaching is good overall, with some that is outstanding.

Teachers and other adults motivate pupils to want to do well. Attendance is well above average because : pupils love coming to school. They feel safe, beh...ave well and are proud of their school.

Staff have successfully created a positive, caring climate for learning where each pupil feels valued as an individual. Leadership and management, including governance, are good. The headteacher is regarded highly by staff, parents and pupils.

The headteacher and deputy headteacher work together effectively as a team. The school works particularly well with its parents and carers. They feel involved in their children's learning.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : There are too few opportunities for pupils to practise their numeracy and, to a lesser extent, literacy skills in different subjects or develop their problem solving skills. Teachers do not always demand enough of more-able pupils or show pupils how to improve when they mark their work.

Information about this school

Randlay is larger than the average-sized primary school.

Most pupils are White British. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language. A below-average proportion of pupils are supported by the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals.

A below-average proportion of pupils are supported at school action, and an above-average proportion are supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs. In recent times, the school has experienced considerable disruption to staffing. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
