That's the verdict of inspectors
from the Office for Standards in
Education (Ofsted) after they
paid a visit to Bursledon CE
Infant School and described the
school as "good" - the second
highest of four possible grades.
They praised the head teacher,
Maureen Knight, for her
"strong, calm and thoughtful
leadership" and said that with
her staff she had created a
"warm caring environment"
The school was found to have
made good progress since its last
inspection thanks to its effective
teaching and good curriculum.
The inspectors complimented
pupils' good personal development,
which encouraged them to
participate well in school activities
and take care of their work.

Most parents said that they
held the school in high regard.
Standards at Key Stage 1 were
average in reading and maths
and slightly below average in
writing - although most children
had lower than average levels
of attainment when starting
in reception.
Head teacher Miss Knight said:
"Everyone at Bursledon Infant
School is delighted that the
school has been judged by Ofsted
as good in every area.
"We are particularly pleased
that the inspection process has
confirmed parents' views of the
school, that it is a happy, safe,
well-disciplined environment
where children are making great
progress and enjoy learning.
"I would like to express my
thanks to staff, parents, pupils
and governors for their contributions
to this very positive outcome,
which celebrates the
achievement of everyone
involved in the school community."
