Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have responded swiftly to the recommendations from the short inspection in June 2018. Their decisive actions have ensured that Shap continues to be a good school.

Governors and leaders analyse a range of information to arrive at an accurate understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses. They focus their plans for improvement on pupils' outcomes. Governors have worked successfully to improve their own effectiveness.

They now hold leaders to account for their work, including for the use of the pupil premium funding to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. The curriculum leaders enable pupils to learn acro...ss a range of subjects. Some subject leaders do not consistently ensure that all pupils, especially the most able, are making the progress of which they are capable.

Teachers plan learning which enables pupils to learn well. Work in pupils' books shows that most pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, are making strong progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Sometimes the work that the pupils receive in some subjects, especially the most able pupils, does not challenge them enough or support their progress in writing.

Younger pupils achieve well in phonics because : this aspect is taught well. Almost all reach the expected standard in the end of Year 1 national phonics screening check. Children in the early years make a strong start to their education.

Most children reach a good level of development by the time they start Year 1. Pupils benefit from good arrangements for their personal development and welfare. Leaders communicate well with other agencies to ensure that pupils receive the help they need.

Pupils' behaviour is consistently good in class and around school because teachers' expectations are high. Good leadership ensures that the school provides well for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This helps this group of pupils to make strong progress from their individual starting points.

Leaders and governors have established a culture of safeguarding in the school. Leaders ensure that adults are trained to recognise signs of harm and know how to report any concerns they may have. Pupils feel safe in school, and know who to speak to if they are worried.
