The school is much smaller than most infant schools with 69 pupils on roll. The number of pupils in the school has been rapidly falling since the previous inspection. The headteacher is currently on long-term sickness absence and was not present in school for the inspection. The deputy headteacher is currently leading the school. The school is receiving external support from the Solent Teaching Schools Alliance. There have been substantial changes to the school since the previous inspection. Owing to falling pupil numbers, there has been a reorganisation in staffing. There have also been changes to the governing body, with a new chair in place since June 2018. Most pupils are of White British heritage and few speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils with SEND is above the national average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is just below average. Inspection report: Rumboldswhyke C of E Infants’ School, 1 to 2 May 2019 Page 8 of 10 Information about this inspection The inspector observed pupils working in all classrooms, including the early years. She looked at work in their books and she listened to five pupils reading in Year 2. Pupils’ behaviour was observed by the inspector as they moved around the school and in the playground. The inspector met with four governors, including the chair of governors. She met with the deputy headteacher and four middle leaders. She also met with a consultant from the teaching alliance and an adviser from the local authority. During the inspection, a range of documents were scrutinised. These included school development plans, records relating to pupils’ learning and progress and minutes from governors’ meetings. The inspector also looked at documentary information to show how the school keeps pupils safe. The views of parents were considered through reading the 21 responses to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, and the 14 written responses on free-text. The inspector also considered nine responses to the staff survey.

Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
