7th July 2016 Mr David Bell Ravensmead Primary School Chapel Street Bignall End Stoke-on-Trent Staffordshire ST7 8QD Flagship review – 28th June 2016 Summary
Listening is a complete and profound reality in Ravensmead. There is constant
reference to hearing and from everyone, the confirmation that they are heard. This is
such a powerful certainty. There is no rush to tick boxes and move on as fast as possible.
Time – quality time – is the essential process that is actioned in this school. Conferring;
questioning; conferencing; acquiring information; asking; negotiating – collegiate
decisions ensure that every voice is valued and considered. The impact of this, is that
each person in this community …. trusts. With trust comes the astute responsibility to
give and be the best that is possible. Integrity is never in question as reciprocal
confidence supports all ensuing actions. “We are trusted” … “We are one team” …
“We are encouraged to be vocal” … “We are part of all change”.
Children here flourish. They know that they are known! The certainty of individual
identification gives confidence to the children. They recognise, and trust, that the school
will nourish and nurture them. The culture of equitable sharing gives enormous power
to all learning and teaching. Children are unafraid to explore and investigate. Hands of
support and encouragement are real yet also enabling and empowering of building
unique pathways to independence.
Ravensmead is certainly not bound by its physical context. The leadership here has
forward outward vision. There are other cultures and other experiences that offer
opportunities of exciting exploration and discovery and this school seeks them out. The
community of this school grows beyond the immediate. It embraces challenges and
change knowing that growing global knowledge accesses everyone to enriched lives and
understandings. Inclusion is a determined and enthused energy … and a humbling
reality.

Recommendation
The Flagship Review has been undertaken successfully. The school clearly demonstrates
its ability to respond to initiatives and to build the capacity essential to moving still
further on the Inclusion journey. I am of the opinion and recommend that the school
maintain its status both as an IQM school with Flagship status. This will be dependent
on completion of the appropriate Flagship paperwork.
Part of the next review in twelve months’ time will involve an assessment of any work
undertaken with ICI schools. This should include an evaluation of impact and influence
on current practice.

RR-F Review Report
Inclusion Quality Mark (U.K.) Ltd
School context description: Raise-online, Ofsted Data Dashboard, performance tables etc. (school to update accordingly if there have
been significant contextual changes).
Ravensmead Primary is a larger than average primary school.
The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is below average and very few pupils speak English as an additional language.
The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is average although the number of pupils with a statement of special educational needs and those identified as requiring external support, is rising.
The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is approximately 12%.
The school has been recognized and has achieved a number of awards including National Healthy Schools Status, Dyslexia Friendly Status, Artsmark Gold, the Basic Skills Quality Mark (re-accredited Aut15), Eco Silver Award, FMSIS accreditation (for financial management).
The school received the prestigious Inclusion Quality Flagship Award Summer 2013 (re-accredited summer 14 & 15).
The school gained a runner up award for the prestigious Speakers School Council Award from Parliament summer 14.
The school gained the PE and Games Kitemark in 2014 and 2015, reaching two National Cricket finals in the last 4 years.
The school provides a breakfast club. A privately run before- and after-school care club is also on the same site.
More emphasis has been put on ‘British Values’ at some point during the day. A discussion point that is focused around our ‘Diverse Community.
One of the biggest challenges facing the school at the moment is its growing number of Special Educational Needs & Disability pupils. However, the school celebrates the progress of children with SEND. It was recorded that the school has 5 pupils with Statements or Educational Healthcare Plans and 35 pupils with Special Needs as well as a number of pupils awaiting further assessment. The school keeps a detailed register of its “vulnerable children”, some of whom have significant medical issues such as Autism, Downs Syndrome, Hearing Impairment, and Visual Impairment and has recently had pupils with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. The school staff and Governing Body would proudly state that Ravensmead is a fully inclusive school and attempts to meet the needs of all children from local families. The Basic Skills Quality Mark Annual Audits and the Inclusion Quality Mark Flagship Assessment Summer 2013 and annual audits provide extremely strong evidence that the school works tirelessly to meet the needs of all its children; “The systems within the school ensure that every child’s progress is measured in terms of achievement and wellbeing. Parents and external partners are effusive in their praise of the school and grateful for the commitment for excellent practice”.
The Autumn census 2014 recorded the school lowest percentage of free school meals for a number of years and this continued throughout the academic year. Despite a number of pro-active measures to encourage our families, especially the parents of Reception, Year One and Year two to take up their entitlement to free school meals, this number remains low. This included a £100 uniform voucher for new applicants. The Autumn 2015 recorded a figure of 12% “free school meals” The school has a high proportion of pupils with SEND as recorded above in the Student Section and the school works tirelessly in partnership with the parents, considering a wide range of interventions to support their development. For many years it has been felt that children entering our Nursery and a proportion of those entering Reception have exhibited low age appropriate development in a number of areas. To
coincide with the recent drop in Free School Meals the school has employed the Local Authority Early Years team to moderate the On-Entry Assessments in these areas. The report from
September 2015 supported the view that a significant proportion of children enter both our Nursery and Reception with development in many areas less than that expected for their age.
“Judgements are robust, consistent and accurate. Evidence matched the band descriptors extremely well, with practitioners showing excellent understanding of levels of skill
within each age and stage. Very good knowledge of best fit.” (Moderation visit record 2015 Sept) Moderation continues through the year with a small cluster of local schools
involved.
RR-F Review Report
Inclusion Quality Mark (U.K.) Ltd
The school's SENCO, recently a finalist in Staffordshire County Councils Employee Awards works tirelessly to utilize the expertise of a wide range of outside agencies. Currently (September 2015) the school believes it has an additional 6 or 7 pupils who are awaiting Educational Healthcare Plan assessment. The Governing Body again have allocated additional funds to pay for additional Educational Psychologist time if this can be accessed.
The school regularly arranges questionnaires for Parents and Pupils, the last one being Autumn 2013, responses were extremely positive but the school feels that at times the aspirations of parents could be raised even higher. To this end the school organizes adult classes and makes arrangements for easy-access to specialist who can support families, both through attendance at Parents Evenings but also at Pre-arranged and advertised Drop-Ins. The school manages to achieve 100% attendance of parents at both Autumn and Spring Parents Evenings. The school implemented a detailed Action Plan to address its Ofsted December 2011 Key Issue which looked at the quality of teaching, planning, target setting and marking.
Much work was done during recent years to formulate a Marking & Feedback Policy which was structured to set challenging targets in lessons and to enable pupils to have a
fuller appreciation of their next steps for learning. Teacher planning was amended to support full inclusion of all pupils in their learning.
Comprehensive classroom observations (one each term) also involving the Local Authority recorded an improving picture whereby during the Summer Term it was possible to say that teaching was indeed “consistently good” or “better”. Classroom Observations) for Literacy, Numeracy and Science during the academic year 12/13 supported the view that teaching was “usually good with some examples of outstanding teaching” .These termly observations continued during the Academic Years 2013/14 and 2014/15, Autumn Term 2015 and Spring 2016.
Inputs from the (Local Authority, Basic Skills Assessor 2013 and 2014 and Inclusion Quality Mark Assessor 2013, 2014 and2015) supported the view that teaching was between September 2013 and July2015 solely “good” or “outstanding”.
(Summer Term 2013 Local Authority and Inclusion Assessor) both recorded the positive impact of planned first hand learning experiences upon the improved quality of learning and teaching. Visitors continued to record during academic year '13-'14-15 that the school's focus upon first hand experiences was extremely beneficial in terms of teaching and learning.
Standarised tests (PUMA and PIRA) are now in place for maths and reading and are undertaken termly. The results impact upon pupil progress meeting, interventions and further support to enhance progress.
A range of CPD including a significant input from an educational consultant has developed teaching, particularly in terms of Assessment For Learning Strategies
School initiatives such as “Purple Pen “marking where pupils are encouraged to self , peer mark or respond to the teachers marking have encouraged pupils to become
more independent, to review their work and learn how to develop it further.
+Teachers encourage positive attitudes so that the pupils can become more resilient and apply themselves to new tasks. Expectations towards conduct are constantly
reinforced and appropriate
Teachers plan carefully to ensure that pupils are supported to learn. A wide range of interventions are planned and there is a programme of professional development to
ensure that the school has a pool of well trained staff who can respond to the changing needs of pupils following Pupil Progress Meetings.
Teachers challenge stereotypes and use of derogatory language in lessons and around school. These occurrences are rare but teachers are aware of their responsibility to
promote equality of opportunity and diversity.in all aspects of teaching and learning.
Teachers set homework in line with the schools agreed Homework Policy
RR-F Review Report
Inclusion Quality Mark (U.K.) Ltd
The school regards itself as a learning community and recently consulted the children again over their understanding of some of the lesson structures. It became apparent
that not all strategies were fully understood and therefore immediate alterations were made.
From generally low starting points our pupils consistently leave in Year 6 above national averages, whilst enjoying a high quality and broad curriculum, including first hand learning experiences recognizing pupil voice. The current Free School Meal figure of 12% appears low and demands further discussion and explanation.
Strengths in 2015
KS2 value added was broadly average or above in all subjects.
KS2 value added in all subjects was broadly average or above for disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs.
From at least 5 out of every 6 starting points, the proportion of disadvantaged KS2 pupils making and exceeding expected progress in reading, in writing & in mathematics was similar to that of other pupils nationally.
The proportion of disadvantaged KS2 pupils that attained at least Level 4 was equal to or above the national figure for other pupils in reading & writing.
The proportion of Year 1 pupils that met the expected standard in phonics was above the national figure.
Weaknesses in 2015
No weaknesses were identified in this dataset
In September 2015 the Local Authority were invited into school to moderate our Nursery and Reception On Entry Data. They confirmed that it was accurate to say that many of our children enter Nursery and Reception with development in some areas below that expected for their age. The schools judgements were seen to be robust, consistent and accurate”. Sept2015. (Outcomes for pupils in the Early Years are covered in detail in the Early Years section of this SEF.
Key Stage Two Results in recent years have consistently placed the schools results for both Attainment and Progress above Nat ional Averages. 2015 “expected progress” figures were 97% Reading 100% Writing and 97% Maths
The performance of our SEN pupils supported by the Inclusion Flagship Quality Mark Inspection and a range of data is a very positive one. Raise online 2014 indicated that in most areas the school SEN Pupils were out performing similar pupils nationally.( We hope that 2015 data will be similar)
Raise also indicated that our “disadvantaged” children were out performing similar children nationally and indeed at Ravensmead for the first time ever, outperformed “other” pupils. These figures were repeated again in2015
The school has worked closely with colleagues in other local schools to develop Assessment procedures which will enable it to continue to monitor the progress of pupils without levels.
We have invested in Standardised Tests for Reading and Maths and these are now undertaken termly as part of our continued close monitoring of individual pupil progress at our termly Pupil Progress Meetings.
We have assessment procedures for the non-core subjects of the curriculum.
The school manages to maintain the level of provision evidenced by its Inclusion Quality Mark Summer 2013 and also Basic Skills re-accreditations annually since then.
Reading is a priority in school. Pupils read widely in and out of school and are rewarded weekly with raffle prizes if their Homework Reading Diary indicates regular reading at home .The school day usually finishes for most classes with a story read by the teacher...
From September '13 to July15 termly lesson observations in Guided Reading, Topic Work Science, Physical Education and Games, and Phonics and SPAG, all moderated by the local authority and subject specialist recorded only good and outstanding lesson observations.
RR-F Review Report
Inclusion Quality Mark (U.K.) Ltd
Summer 2016
Due to changes in expectation where standards have been significantly raised across the curriculum in all year groups, those children who were reported to be making
good progress may not meet the new expected standard especially as thresholds are still currently unknown.
Even Better
Recent pupil progress during the EYFS years can be sustained and accelerated throughout Key Stage 1 (although data for the last 3 years indicates that Year 1 and Year 2 cohorts have made good annual progress, particularly 2014 and2015 results) and that this level of achievement can be sustained throughout Key Stage 2.
Build upon the excellent results of our “disadvantaged” pupils 2014 and 2015 and continued to take great care over our expend iture of Pupil Premium Funding including Early Years Pupil Premium Funding.
The school’s funding for Pupil Premium is spent appropriately to support the achievement of our Ever 6 pupils to enable them to close the gap and wherever possible achieve above national averages which was achieved summer 2014. And subject to confirmation is likely to be repeated with the summer 2015 results
The school continues during 2015-16 to use its PE and Sports Funding effectively to increase and enhance its provision in these areas.
School needs to address the issue of Year 2 pupils yet to meet the standard for the Phonics Screening Test.
To ensure that the good progress made by pupils by Summer 2013, 2014 and 2015 EYFS is maintained throughout KS1 where we should expect their attainment to be slightly above local and national comparisons
Ensure that the quality of presentation of pupils work in all areas of the curriculum is consistently in line with that evidenced in the core subjects and in line with agreed Policies for Presentation and recently agreed changes to the school's Handwriting Policy.(These will be monitored during the academic year 2015-16)
The school continues to aim for progress and attainment of its “groups” to be close to or above national averages. Financial and resource decisions are made to support this development including the use of pupil premium funding
We need to address current concerns over Year 1 pupils. Continue to work on structured interventions that have been put into place to support the needs of the year 1 cohort on the advice of Cicely Houghton Outreach team.
To meet the new challenges of the Key Stage 2 papers, particularly Reading and Writing Summer 2016.
To build on and continue with the speech and language work undertaken by Liz Parkes across the school.

Discussion with strategic support staff
Dinner taken with the ‘Fine Diners’
Interview with parents and governors
Focused discussion concerning the Inclusion Project
Further Developments agreed after discussion
1.
To consider hosting an in-house multi-agency meeting occasionally, with parents also invited. This could help to support a more
determined transference of professional information and expertise and perhaps result in the formation of parent support groups.
2.
To consider playground markings that identify specific zones. ‘Footprints’ for safe walking areas could also be beneficial. This
would support the children’s capacities to make appropriate choices.
3.
The ‘Fine Diners’ struggled a bit with the ‘fine’ part of dinner etiquette. Perhaps an addition of a ‘Dinner Mentor’ might help?
To support coaching skills of younger pupils and support the older children’s capacities to lead, to consider Inner and Outer School
Council meetings that could meet alternate weeks.
A visual ‘Action Plan’ for School Council would help the dissemination of information to the whole school and flag-up the process
of committee.
RR-F Review Report
Inclusion Quality Mark (U.K.) Ltd
5.
As an addition to the inclusion strategy in Y1 to consider a process of pupil self-evaluation (e.g. writing a name then repeating it
again every 6 weeks) This would form a visible point of learning reference and progress.
6.
To consider an invite FROM pupils to parents for a ‘Working with’ session. This would help to build a discrete understanding of
school approaches to learning etc.
To collate positive evaluative comments from parents that could form an evolving display. For instance: luggage tags offered to
visitors as they come to a school event and then hung on a ‘tree’ in a central place. This would provide conditioned learning for the
community
7.
Governors are identified by accident rather than by design. Perhaps a ‘Mood Board’ (on an A frame?) could help to project identities
or a Governor per class portrait?
