Danielle Murphy Photography
"It's very difficult for me to write this review. We are so extremely dissatisfied and upset because our wedding photos were lost. A handful were saved but they are riddled with mistakes (eyes closed, backs of people, etc). Danielle was very unprofessional about the situation. We did not find out about her mistake until 3 months after our wedding, when I reached out via email inquiring about them. After a few days she finally responded via email claiming where lost while backing up the hard drive but she was able to retrieve half of our photos which included important parts. She never once called to explain the situation. We felt this was unexceptionable behavior. Once we finally saw the photos that were saved, there was nothing to them. There were less than 200 and did not include any important moment (walking down the isle with my father, our first kiss, first dance, photos of grandparents and family, father/daughter mother/son dance, etc) where not included. After reviewing all the circumstances, we asked and received a substantial refund. However, our wedding day is priceless and we will never get those photograph memories back."

- Ryan,
I have posted my FR for the Eclipse to the test folder for your editing
pleasure. You can find it at: http://tinyurl.com/4sjojax .
Great hat so far and looking forward to putting it through more paces over
the next two months. The text version follows:
So far I have worn the Eclipse at least three times per week either around
the house, in town or out in the backcountry. This includes one overnight
trip, a three day trip and three day hikes, all in the Rocky Mountains of
The first trip was a three day trek in the San Isabel National Forest along
the Colorado Trail. There was snow along almost the entire route and while I
took snowshoes they weren't needed much. Temperatures were cold, anywhere
between 5 and 35 F (-15 and 2 C) but otherwise clear. Elevations ranged from
9,000 to 11,500 ft (2,700 to 3,350 m) with an estimated trip of 24 mi (39
My final trip was an overnight to hike Mt Shavano in the San Isabel National
Forest. With warm temperatures around 40 F (4 C) and clear skies it was a
great time to be in the backcountry. Elevations ranged from 9,500 to over
14,000 ft (2,900 to 4,300 m) with alpine and rocky conditions as well as
snow covered trails.
The three day trips were very similar to my overnight hikes with little to
trace amounts of snow and mild weather conditions. One was a hunting trip in
the Colorado Rockies, another was a day hike with my wife and son and the
other was a day hike to the Waterdog Lakes.
I have been very impressed with the performance of the Sunday Afternoons
Eclipse Cap so far. For those who are not familiar with Colorado weather,
the test period has provided above average temperatures for what I am used
to (up until a recent arctic blast that hit two weeks ago). As the picture
to the right shows, I have the vents open despite the snowy trails because
of the warm sun and exertion. While hiking along the Colorado Trail, I
experienced some great weather and I appreciated the ability to allow excess
heat to escape from my noggin. Of course I had no idea how I looked in the
hat with the vents open until after seeing my pictures but I have to say I
like the style and look.
I was especially interested to see how well the Eclipse could handle
perspiration. Many other hats I have worn become saturated with sweat but
the combination of the sweatband and the mesh vents kept the cap dry most of
the time. I found that within 10 minutes in our dry climate the hat was
almost completely void of any damp spots.
Another feature I have come to appreciate is the ability to pack down the
cap to a very small size. When I needed to switch to a warmer hat as the
conditions changed, I found that I could quickly stow the Eclipse in a
jacket pocket until I had a better opportunity to take my pack off and stow
it away there. I have actually forgotten that I had the Eclipse in the cargo
pocket of a pair of pants and thought I misplaced it once!
The cap provides good sun protection as far as I can tell. I don't sunburn
easily, but I can comment on the shade the brim offers. It is certainly on
par with other caps I have worn and provides good cover. Durability has been
great and I can see no signs of wear; no stains, no fraying.
In fact caring for the cap has been hassle free. I followed the directions
to hand wash and air dry the cap with mild detergent just to see if the
shape of the hat would be altered or any other anomaly. It looks just like
new still.
I have struggled to find any problems with the Eclipse so far. What I really
like is that it is attractive, provides good sun protection and also vents
very well.
This concludes my field report. Please check back in about two months to see
how the Eclipse does after another two months of testing! I would like to
thank Sunday Afternoons and the folks at BackpackGearTest.org
<http://www.backpackgeartest.org> for allowing me to be a part of this test

Council vote map: Seize oversight of contracting-out of cleaning jobs
City council voted to seize oversight of any future contracting-out of city cleaning jobs from an internal committee of senior city staff. Here's how the councillors voted.
Urging her colleagues to protect city cleaners targeted for outsourcing, Councillor Ana Bailão choked back tears Wednesday, recalling life as a new immigrant scrubbing Toronto offices with her mother.
"My mom had to have two jobs. At age 15, I was cleaning offices downtown for two years," Bailão told council Wednesday, her voice breaking. "I know this industry, and these are new immigrants coming to this country . . . These are the most vulnerable people in this city."
Council agreed, voting 29-12 to defy Mayor Rob Ford and seize oversight of any future contracting-out of city cleaning jobs from an internal committee of senior city staff. That overturns the long-standing practice of council voting on contracts only if they're worth $20 million or more.
Ford's latest loss, following rebukes on the 2012 budget and transit expansion, was one vote shy of the 30 his foes need regularly to completely seize the council agenda.
It also puts a big obstacle in the Ford administration's plan to save millions by outsourcing the jobs of most or all of the city's roughly 1,000 cleaners.
In February, the internal bid committee awarded a one-year, $1.9 million contract to Impact Cleaning Services to clean police stations. Next on the block are city staff who clean a 10-storey police communications centre and city-run daycares across Toronto.
But council voted to have the city manager report in September on whether to exercise options to renew the police station contract for up to four more years. Also, any other cleaning contracts must now go to the government management committee and then council for approval. The employment, health and safety records of bidders will be evaluated.
"They're trying to stop us contracting out cleaning" and saving taxpayers millions of dollars per year, Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday thundered to reporters.
"There is just no logical reason for us to be paying $64,000 to people to do cleaning when out in the real world you could get it for less than $50,000."
"It's ideology driven, it's not good management, it's not in the best interest of the taxpayer."
But Bailão insisted council has not closed the door on outsourcing cleaning jobs. It has only ensured that any winning bidders will treat workers fairly, she said.
Council heard that Impact Cleaning — the sole qualified company to bid on the police station tender — was cited by the city for a fair-wage violation in a previous contract, when one of its subcontractors underpaid workers from Latin America.
"It's an issue that is personal," Bailão said, adding that after arriving from Portugal, she earned $6.25 an hour cleaning offices after school from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with her seamstress mother.
"I know that what we do here at the city really pushes the standard in the industry."

The government's initial decision to host the games had generated little excitement domestically, and there had increasing opposition in the media and on blogs. Many questioned whether the cost in the hundreds of millions of dollars was worth it given the country was still struggling to emerge from the global financial crisis.
In a statement on late Thursday, the government said hosting the event in Hanoi was unjustifiably expensive.
"Hosting this could help us promote the country's image and position. However if the hosting is not properly and successfully prepared, it will have the opposite effect," the statement said.
"The state budget is limited and must be prioritized for other immediate tasks."
Randhir Singh, Secretary-General of the Olympic Council of Asia, said the organization was "surprised" and had not officially been informed of the decision. He said the body would now have to decide on who would host the games.
"The matter will have to be discussed at length by the OCA," he told The Associated Press. "It's a decision which has to be taken judiciously considering various factors. We have to decide who will be able to deliver, keeping in mind the time factor."
While the OCA will have to quickly decide on a replacement host, it does have the benefit of an extra year as Hanoi was to have been the first games of a new schedule that would put the event the year ahead of the Summer Olympics.
Surabaya, Indonesia, had been the other serious bidder for 2019, while Dubai, United Arab Emirates, expressed initial interest but withdrew.
Vietnam's state controlled media praised the decision to withdraw from the games.
"A decision that wins the heart of the people," was the front page headline of the widely read Tuoi Tre newspaper.
"The whole country welcomes the right decision of the prime minister," reader Do Quang Dan wrote to Tuoi Tre. "The country has many things to worry about.
"It's very regretted that Vietnam has withdrawn from hosting the games," Giang told the AP. "This is a very good opportunity. I don't know when Vietnam will have another chance to host."
The sports ministry had budgeted $150 million for the event, but economists said the bill could be several times higher, and in line with spending levels for this year's Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, which could reportedly top $1 billion.
The OCA website still had Hanoi scheduled as the 2019 host, with a video promoting the event.
The Asian Games features similar events to the Summer Olympics but also include sports popular in Asia. More than 40 nations take part.

text: Executives of The WB network say they are not canceling 7th Heaven because of poor ratings -- it is their second highest-rated show behind Gilmore Girls, according to the Associated Press -- but because it costs too much. Speaking in Pasadena at the annual TV critics' winter press tour, WB Chairman Garth Ancier remarked that the series loses $16 million a year. "As much as we all love the show, we do have to run a business," Ancier said. The network's overall ratings are reportedly down by double-digit percentages this season.

Social and physical environments of sports and exercise reported among adults in the American Time Use Survey. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18675293 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: Demographic and temporal patterns in the social and physical environments of sports and exercise in the American Time Use Survey (years 2003-2006) are described. METHOD: The sample consisted of adult respondents (ages 21+) reporting at least one bout of sports or exercise (N=8844). During the interview, participants reported where (e.g., outdoors, home, work) and with whom (e.g., alone, family, coworkers) each bout occurred. Sample-weighted multinomial logistic regression analyses estimated the adjusted proportion of bouts occurring in each environment by gender, age, education, race/ethnicity, season, weekend/weekday, and time of day. RESULTS: Among members of the oldest age group (ages 60+), more exercise bouts occurred alone and outdoors compared to younger age groups. Among college graduates, more exercise bouts occurred at a gym/health club compared to groups with lower levels of education. Exercise bouts occurring alone were most likely to happen in the winter, on weekdays, and in the morning. Exercise bouts occurring outdoors were most likely to happen in the summer, on weekend days, and in the morning. CONCLUSION: Future research and intervention efforts exploring where, when and with whom exercise bouts occur may prove beneficial to addressing public health concerns about physical inactivity. |

Panera Bread's CEO Attempts to Innovate The Way We Order Sandwiches
Panera Bread founder Ron Shaich says he would "skip the line" for breakfast. Now customers can too with the launch of Panera 2.0.
A restaurant chain might not be the first place that comes to mind as a hub of innovative thinking—a consequence perhaps of the corporate motherships that standardize everything from the order-taker's scripted lines to the clamshell boxes presented on abundant plastic trays.
Even though his own company's menu includes simple staples like soups, sandwiches, and a variety of other baked goods, Panera Bread founder and CEO Ron Shaich nevertheless likes to talk at length about big ideas like innovation and elevating the customer experience.
Those ideals have inspired him to write a comprehensive new recipe for his St. Louis-based company. Because even in a business like Panera, the core competencies of which include serving up a variety of meats between two slices of bread, there's apparently still room for new insights that break from the past.
"What I began to understand is the one-size-fits-all service system wasn't working anymore," says Shaich. "Also, that the operating procedures we were using, we'd outgrown them."
The Panera 2.0 Experience
Shaich's goal, in short, is a reinvention of the customer experience that replaces standardization with different experiences for different customer segments. It started with the memo he drafted a few years ago, sketching out improvements he eventually wanted to make that cut against the grain in an industry that can seem to fetishize efficiency.
The result is Panera 2.0. That's the company's label for the new model of integrated technologies and processes it's rolling out to help differentiate customers who eat inside the chain's cafés from those who just want to grab and go—and to start serving them in new ways.
Advancements include iPad kiosks as a new way to order in the cafes, intended to cut down on crowds in front of cashier stations. Customers also will be able to digitally place an order with their mobile device from within the café and have the meal delivered to their table, as well as be able to save order customizations and "favorites" for easier ordering next time.
Another new ordering option will let customers place orders digitally via the web or mobile devices in advance, and pick up their food at a pre-determined time without waiting in line.
The Panera 2.0 model was announced earlier in 2014, and it's now in place at a few dozen locations. By the end of the year, about 100 cafés will have switched to the new system, with the rest of the company's locations planned to follow suit next year.
"Some people confuse this as a technology solution," Shaich told Fast Company in late July 2014, the same day Panera reported second quarter earnings. "It isn't. It's a solution for guest satisfaction. It's about changing the guest experience. 'Eat-in' and 'to-go' really needed their own unique systems."
He says he arrived at that conclusion back in 2010, after stepping down as CEO and becoming Panera's executive chairman. It was around that time he started thinking more about how he might regard Panera if he wasn't part of the company.
He paid close attention to his own ordering and eating experiences there. He mentally poked at the organization, looking for flaws.
"I've long held to a view of innovation that says the role of the CEO is essentially to figure out where the world is going and to ensure his or her company is there when that world unfolds," he says. Shaich came back as Panera's CEO in 2012.
"It's not simply about delivery or squeezing more efficiency out of the process. It's about making sure the organization is doing more down the road. And it starts with understanding what job you're trying to complete for what audience and what really matters to them."
A New Way To Order Breakfast
Shaich relied in part on his personal experience with the brand to figure out what his audience might want.
A couple of times each week, he explains, he gives his kids a ride to school. They're often running late, which means that on the way to the local Panera to pick up breakfast for everyone, Shaich quickly fell into a routine of calling ahead to place his order.
He'd make the call about seven or eight minutes out. The manager would read it back. Shaich would stress that he's only a few minutes away and that his son would be dashing in with the credit card. Invariably, the whole transaction would be done in less than a minute, and everyone would be on their way.
"It's phenomenal, right?" he recounted. "But I started to think to myself—this is great for me, the CEO, but what about the other 10 million customers a week? And I began to imagine a way we'd do to-go orders like this, using mobile, using the web, and we could have the food waiting for you."
"Then there's be other times, I'd arrive [at Panera] at the crack of 9 a.m. I'd walk up; I'm hungry, but I've only allocated 30 minutes to this meeting, and I sure don't want to spend seven minutes waiting in line. So why don't we do something about that? You could hop onto your phone, four strokes, get your order placed. And I began to imagine a world where you could walk up to a kiosk and do the same thing."
What he envisioned, though, was more than the launch of a special payment app or some kind of dedicated online ordering solution. What he wanted to roll out was an integrated whole.
Not only would it involve multiple outlets through which orders could be placed, but it would require changes to the company's production systems, too. Cash registers, he explains, serve as a kind of funnel that limits customer volume, and when you add what's essentially "unlimited ordering inputs via the web," the production capabilities have to improve in tandem.
Thus began the process by which he conceived Panera 2.0. It started, he says, with deciding on core values, on the strategic vision, and building out from there.
"My sense is you have to build in your mind's eye a rendering for this, almost like a watercolor, but in 3-D," he says. "If you can't see it and describe it, you can't test it. Once I've got that in mind, I can look at it from an audience perspective. I can look at it financially. Then you can reduce it down to a prototype. And once you've got it prototyped, you're in a position to start to scale it out."
Meeting Customers' Changing Expectations
A large-scale operational change like this at a company, he says, also requires building credibility for it and selling it.
"Big companies like Panera are set up to say 'no,'" he says. "There's lots of disincentives to saying yes. So I wrote the vision to help sell it, then we started to prototype it. The first one took us two years and opened in August 2012 in Braintree, Massachusetts. We studied that. I actually ran it. I was there 100 hours the first week. It was our first attempt and we had to understand it and fine-tune it."
The company watched the prototype in action for several months, then repeated the process by opening a few more prototypes to confirm what had been learned from the first go-round. The company, Shaich says, then started seeing material improvements in key metrics like sales and customer satisfaction.
It proved the basic assumption Shaich started with. The expectations of his customers were changing, and it was nudging his industry someplace new.
Confronting that shift requires a brand of business leadership that's anticipatory and nimble, he says, whether the company involved makes pricey electronics or sandwiches on artisan bread.
"The end I have in mind is doing something that matters to the person coming through that door," Shaich says. "The means to doing that was this Panera 2.0 system. If we've got the means right and make a better experience for them, if we solve for that end, then the by-product is they come more often and sales go up."
"There's a great expression: Courage is acting in the face of fear," he adds. "One of the things I feel intensely about is that the greatest way we can make a difference is not in managing risk but in seeing opportunity. As a leader, the greatest value I can bring is discovering new opportunities for the company and make sure we actually get there. If we don't, then the world will continue to change, and the company won't keep up with it."

China Combats Solar Downturn With Subsidy
The Chinese Ministry of Finance announced a new subsidy for solar installations that is expected to help the industry recover from recent price drops, according to Cleantech Group LLC.
Aimed at relatively large installations of 50 kilowatts or greater, the cash grant of RMB 20 ($2.90) per watt would apply to solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in China to encourage the adoption of solar technology in rural and urban markets. The Ministry of Finance has not yet established a limit on the total subsidy, but analysts predict it could be capped at about 180 megawatts, according to Cleantech.
Cleantech also reported that the solar installations in China must meet energy conversion efficiency guidelines: 16 percent for mono-crystalline-based PV modules, 14 percent for multi-crystalline-based PV modules, and 6 percent for amorphous silicon-based PV modules.
China had about 100 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in solar at the end of 2007, with 47 MW added in 2008. The new subsidy represents a 48 percent decrease in the average cost for an installed watt worldwide of about $6.50, said Cleantech.
Ian Tharp, an analyst at Dundee Capital Markets, told Cleantech that Chinese-based solar companies such as LDK Solar, Renesola, Canadian Solar, Trina Solar, JA Solar Holding, China Sunergy, Suntech Power, Solarfun Power and Yingli Green Energy could be the biggest winners.
In January 2009, China Technology Development Group Corp. and Qinghai New Energy Group announced plans to build a 30-megawatt on-grid solar power station in Qaidam Basin of northwestern China. The project has a long-term target of 1 gigawatt of capacity, which could make it the biggest photovoltaic project in the world.
According to Ernst & Young's Venture Insights, China increased its cleantech venture capital investment from $30 million in 2007 to $84 million in the first half of 2008.
President Obama's stimulus proposal contained about $13.9 billion to subsidize loans for renewable energy projects, including solar.

When I forward (ANd I think reply) to mails, only the text that I have written is visible to users of Microsoft Outlook. So they don't get the bit that I am forwarding. A friend of mine receives the forwarded bit on his blackberry, but not on his laptop. Not sure wat software he has on blackberry. Any ideas. Is it a setting that I can change, or something that they have to change, or a problem with mail compatibility with outlook. cheers Mike |

OK This is getting worse now.
Now half of my company can't read any text in my emails SOme are using outlook. Some are using webmail. Does anyone know of a contact in Apple that I can get in touch with to discuss what might be causing it. I'm guessing that it is settings on their end as some people can read emails fine.

For Years I drove by this spot never knowing just how beautiful it was. Moss covered canyon walls, some of the clearest/ bluest water you'll find in Oregon, and a really beautiful trail that can run for 20 miles or so on both sides of the river. Sahalie falls is 1 of 2 water falls just a mile apart from each other.
A great collection of colours on this! A favourite.
A few yeas ago I was using slide film in my 35 mm camera. I found that slides have wonderful color saturation. The only negative side is sometimes they can have harsh contrast. This waterfall is so easy to visit. I usually stop by here several times a year. I am going to upload a photo of this river that shows just how blue the water really is.
Thanks for the comment Michael..
Colors, composition, weather and skill all came together for this one, Michael, congratulations -- even just a little breeze would have hurt this. A 'best of' the Oregon cascades.
Hello Bruce,
Sorry for the extremly late response to your posting.
Thankyou for the compliments..
This is a wonderful shot.
Dana Jensen,
Thank you for your kind words!..
I love this shot but I'm suprised it has the highest number of hits in my collection. I think a few others are much better. Like this one of Wahkeena falls or This one Of Mt Hood over Trillium Lake
Yes, this is a beautiful shot, it just amazes me even more how lucky we are to live here. . .
Hello Leo72869
Thanks for the comment! Yes you are right!
It's to bad I did'nt noticed the beauty earlier in my life. Hopefully right now is the right time.
thank you for you kind compliments!
очень-очень красиво
Please forgive me, I don't speak Russian.
Hope you like the photo!

This inspection was carried out by one of Her Majesty's Inspectors and two additional inspectors. Inspectors observed 10 teachers in 11 lessons. Meetings were held with the acting headteacher, newly appointed executive headteacher, a representative of the local authority, the Chair of the Governing Body and the school council. Inspectors also met with staff to discuss pupils' progress, the Early Years Foundation Stage, the curriculum and support for individual pupils. They observed the school's work and looked at school improvement plans, the minutes of governors' meetings, school and local authority monitoring information, data on pupils' progress and a range of policies and procedures, including information about how the school keeps pupils safe. Inspectors also looked at staff and pupil questionnaires and 148 questionnaires completed by parents and carers. While all were looked at, only 102 of these arrived in time to be included in the analysis.
The inspection team reviewed many aspects of the school's work. It looked in detail at the following:
- action taken to reverse the recent fall in standards
- the impact of strategies to enable new pupils to settle quickly and ensure their learning and other needs are met effectively
- achievement among pupils of Black African heritage and the effectiveness of measures taken to support their learning
- actions to reverse the recent fall in attendance
- the effectiveness of interim management arrangements in sustaining school improvement.
Information about the school
The school is larger than average. There are three classes in Key Stage 1 and six mixed-age classes in Key Stage 2. The Early Years Foundation Stage comprises a Nursery and two Reception classes. There have been significant recent staffing changes, including in the leadership and management of the school. The headteacher of a successful local primary school has recently been appointed as executive headteacher, with the acting headteacher becoming associate headteacher. There are two recently appointed deputy headteachers.
The school population is representative of the rich cultural heritage of the area. Just over 60% of pupils are from Black African or Black Caribbean heritage and about 11% are White British. A high proportion of pupils are believed to speak a first language other than English and of these many are in the early stages of learning English. A high proportion of pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school holds the Activemark and meets the Financial Management Standard in Schools (FMSiS).
Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate |

Inspection judgements
Overall effectiveness: how good is the school? | 2 |
The school's capacity for sustained improvement | 2 |
Main findings
After a turbulent recent period, when the school saw a number of changes in leadership and lost its focus on raising standards, it is back on course. The remarkable rapidity of the turnaround is largely due to the vision and determination of the acting headteacher, who has secured significant improvement in a relatively short space of time. In doing this she has been well supported by the local authority and by other colleagues. Her drive and enthusiasm have ensured the support and commitment of pupils, parents and staff. All staff say they are proud of their school and they feel involved in what it is trying to achieve. As a result of this shared vision and commitment, pupils' good long-term progress has been maintained. However, changes in personnel have had an impact on the quality of teaching, which is improving and satisfactory overall. Much teaching is good, but no outstanding teaching was observed and too many lessons move at a slow pace. Also, teachers' marking does not consistently show pupils how to improve. The school is rightly committed to ensuring that all teaching is good or outstanding.
Children settle quickly into the nursery and there are strong relationships with parents and carers. Because the Early Years Foundation Stage is well led and provision is good, children make rapid gains. However, the thorough assessments made of children's development do not consistently translate into detailed planning for learning. Children enjoy playing and learning outdoors, but staff do not make full use of outside areas to promote learning.
The school knows itself well. Self-evaluation is a joint enterprise among staff and governors and this has resulted in a clear picture of how well the school is doing and how to improve further. As a result there has been a good focus on raising standards. Monitoring of learning and teaching is robust and accurate. A particular strength has been meetings between staff to see how well individual pupils are doing and to address underachievement. These meetings have been highly successful in ensuring that the needs of individual pupils are well met, but they have not yet had sufficient impact on raising expectations for all pupils in all classes.
The school runs very smoothly on a day-to-day basis and planning for improvement is generally good. However, these plans are not always sufficiently rigorous in linking actions to the expected outcome so that the school knows which actions have had most impact and the governing body is able to hold it properly to account. Nonetheless, as a result of its shared vision for school improvement, ambition and accurate self-evaluation processes, the school is well placed to improve further.
What does the school need to do to improve further?
- Raise standards and improve the quality of learning by ensuring that all teaching is at least good by:
- ensuring that all groups of pupils benefit from challenging activities in all lessons and classes
- ensuring the pace of learning is always brisk and that time is used effectively
- ensuring marking consistently tells pupils how to improve their work.
- Improve outcomes in the Early Years Foundation Stage by:
- making more effective use of assessment information to inform planning and maximise children's progress
- improving outdoor provision so that more learning happens out of doors.
- Improve governors' strategic management of the school through making improvement planning more specific in linking actions to measurable outcomes, particularly to raising standards.
Outcomes for individuals and groups of pupils | 2 |
The quality of learning observed in lessons varied in line with the quality of teaching, but pupils' longer-term progress has been good despite the fall last year. In the best lessons, work is carefully matched to pupils' different abilities and they approach learning with enthusiasm and commitment. In a good English lesson pupils discussed their work with great maturity and provided each other with useful advice on how to improve their writing. When teaching lacks pace and urgency, pupils' achievement slows, but even in such cases all groups of pupils usually make steady progress because activities are tailored to their individual needs.
Standards seen in lessons and in pupils' books in the current Year 6 were broadly average, but this still represents good achievement for this group of pupils. Progress is rising rapidly after a significant fall last year, having previously been good for many years. The school's rigorous tracking data indicate that most pupils are now making good progress again, with some significant groups making outstanding progress. For example, support for pupils who speak a home language other than English is very effective because work is well matched to their learning needs. Pupils from a Black African heritage are now making rapid progress in their learning following the introduction of a targeted programme of support. Those pupils of broadly average ability are making good progress, following their identification as an underachieving group and the introduction of strategies to support them.
Pupils say they feel safe and secure in school and systems for ensuring the security of the site are good. While behaviour in lessons and around the school is good, pupils are eager to see it improve further. Part of the reason for good behaviour at break times is the range of activities and equipment available, some purchased by the school council following fundraising. The school council is proud of the contribution it has made to enriching school life through its suggestion for an increase in the number and range of lunchtime clubs, and is pleased with the school's positive response. Pupils have an appropriate awareness of a healthy diet and lifestyle. They say they enjoy the range of healthy lunches but still enjoy chips on Fridays.
Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. Their social development is a particular strength. The school fosters a sense of personal responsibility among pupils so that members of the school community have a shared sense of belonging. Pupils make a strong contribution to the school community through the many formal and informal ways they help and support one another. The school recognises that links to the wider and international community are less well developed. Following a recent fall in attendance the school has taken rigorous and effective action to reduce absences. It has been particularly effective in dramatically reducing the number of pupils who are persistent absentees. While the development of workplace skills is satisfactory overall, there are strengths in pupils' ability to work collaboratively and in their good relationships.

How effective is the provision?
All teaching seen was at least satisfactory and about half was good. The best teaching is characterised by a brisk pace of learning, teachers' good subject knowledge and high expectations of achievement and behaviour. In a good mathematics lesson where pupils were improving their addition and subtraction skills, pupils worked very well as part of a group, learning was well matched to pupils' abilities and there was effective support from teaching assistants. Effective questioning ensures all pupils are kept active and engaged and is used well to assess their learning.
In satisfactory lessons a common feature is less effective use of time, so that the pace of learning slows and there are insufficient opportunities for pupils to reflect on and discuss their work. There are insufficient opportunities to practise and improve their speaking and listening skills. The school's marking policy is comprehensive and eminently practical. Where it is applied well, marking is good. However, it is sometimes too focused on encouragement at the expense of telling pupils how well they are doing and how to improve further. Most of the older pupils know how well they are doing and what their targets for improvement are. They say their targets are regularly monitored and changed when achieved.
The curriculum undergoes regular review and adjustment to ensure its improving relevance to the needs of pupils. Enhanced provision to improve the reading and writing skills of underachieving groups of pupils has been very effective. French is taught, and enjoyed by most pupils, in Years 1 to 6. Recent improvements in provision for information and communication technology (ICT) ensure good access to computers in every classroom in addition to mobile laptops. The small ICT suite for pupils in Key Stage 1 is effective in developing their basic computer skills. The school recognises that the curriculum for geography and history is underdeveloped. There is good cultural and creative enrichment through a range of visits connected to curricular themes and links such as those with the London Schools Ballet. There is a good range of clubs at lunchtime and before and after school, including cricket (when it's dry!), football, recorders and music technology.
The school is increasingly engaging parents and carers in their children's education, and has improved its arrangements for keeping parents informed about how well their children are doing through the introduction of termly progress reports. Good systems are in place for tracking pupils' progress and ensuring extra support for those who need it. Pupils with particular learning, emotional and physical needs are well supported through good targeted interventions. Pupils benefit from very good pastoral care. The inclusion manager has good systems in place for identifying the needs of individual pupils and ensuring these are met. A case study on a pupil with particular learning needs demonstrated an exceptional level of care and support.

The effectiveness of care, guidance and support | 2 |
How effective are leadership and management?
The acting headteacher has ensured that the school has had a clear and unrelenting focus on the quality of teaching, pupils' learning and its impact on achievement. The 'Back on Track' document, which was used to communicate her vision for the school, has galvanised the whole school community and helped embed key skills such as self-evaluation and target setting. As a result there is a strong, shared ambition for the school and its pupils. The drive for school improvement has been effectively supported by the local authority, through the use of advisors and consultants, and experienced colleagues from neighbouring schools. During the previous academic year the governors did not monitor pupils' achievement or the success of intervention strategies intended to raise standards with sufficient rigour. The Chair of the Governing Body knows the school very well and personifies governors' renewed commitment to hold the school to account. The school development plan does not link actions sufficiently well to measurable outcomes, particularly those relating to standards, and this is hindering their work.
Safeguarding procedures are exceptionally rigorous. All required checks on those who work with pupils are carried out and recorded diligently. Training for the person responsible for safeguarding is up to date and there has been recent whole-staff training in child protection. Policies and procedures for safeguarding children are clear, regularly reviewed and familiar to staff. The school's effective financial management systems are attested to through meeting the FMSiS.
The school has a strong, shared sense of community and pride. It actively promotes equality and tackles discrimination. As a result, pupils are happy and enjoy learning. As one said, 'This is a real multicultural school, we don't just talk about it.' Its recent focus on raising the achievement of all groups of pupils has resulted in good progress for all groups of pupils. The school itself is a very cohesive and supportive community, and is developing links with schools in other parts of the world.

Early Years Foundation Stage
Children enter the Nursery Year at levels which are well below those expected, particularly in communication, language and literacy skills. During their time in the Nursery and Reception classes they make good progress in learning and in their personal development. Children from different cultures and backgrounds play and work together well and show awareness of one another's individual needs and safety. There are effective partnerships with parents as a result of initiatives such as 'Dads into School' and 'Playing with Words'. While provision is generally good, the use of the outside area does not promote outdoor learning sufficiently well.
The Early Years Foundation Stage coordinator has improved provision significantly so that the progress children make has improved year on year since 2007. There is good teamwork across the Early Years Foundation Stage. While detailed records of children's progress are kept, these assessments are not always used effectively to inform planning so that teaching matches the full range of children's learning needs.

Views of parents and carers
Parents and carers are generally well satisfied with what the school provides. Almost all parents and carers say their children enjoy school. A very large majority say that it is led and managed well, their children are kept safe and that they are happy overall. A few parents and carers would welcome more help in supporting their child's learning. The school is aware of this need and has introduced more detailed and frequent progress reports for pupils and is seeking to strengthen the relationship between school and home. A few parents also expressed concern about how effectively the school meets the individual needs of pupils. While not being able to investigate specific individual cases, inspectors judge that support for individual learning needs is good.
Responses from parents and carers to Ofsted's questionnaire
Ofsted invited all the registered parents and carers of pupils registered at Lucas Vale Primary School to complete a questionnaire about their views of the school.
In the questionnaire, parents and carers were asked to record how strongly they agreed with 13 statements about the school.
The inspection team received 102 completed questionnaires by the end of the on-site inspection. In total, there are 307 pupils registered at the school.

The table above summarises the responses that parents and carers made to each statement. The percentages indicate the proportion of parents and carers giving that response out of the total number of completed questionnaires. Where one or more parents and carers chose not to answer a particular question, the percentages will not add up to 100%.
What inspection judgements mean
Grade | Judgement | Description |
Grade 1 | Outstanding | These features are highly effective. An oustanding school provides exceptionally well for all its pupils' needs. |
Grade 2 | Good | These are very positive features of a school. A school that is good is serving its pupils well. |
Grade 3 | Satisfactory | These features are of reasonable quality. A satisfactory school is providing adequately for its pupils. |
Grade 4 | Inadequate | These features are not of an acceptable standard. An inadequate school needs to make significant improvement in order to meet the needs of its pupils. Ofsted inspectors will make further visits until it improves. |

Dear Pupils
Inspection of Lucas Vale Primary School, London, SE8 4QB
Thank you for making me and my colleagues feel so welcome when we visited your school recently, and a special 'thank you' to the school council who met with me and to those pupils we spoke to on the playground and in the dining hall. The things you told us about the school were very helpful in reaching our judgements. We were pleased to read in the questionnaire many of you completed that you feel you learn a lot in lessons. We think you attend a good school which has improved a lot since September. We also think the school is in a good position to improve further. Here are the things which most impressed us.
- Yours is a happy and hardworking school. You are very polite and welcoming, both to visitors and to children who join the school.
- The acting headteacher is doing a really good job. She is very well supported in raising standards by the other adults who work in the school and through help and advice from the local authority and other schools.
- Your behaviour is good on the playground and around the school.
- Children settle into the Nursery quickly and make good progress.
- Those of you who join the school during the year are made to feel welcome and valued. Those of you who have particular learning needs are also very well supported.
- Arrangements for keeping you safe and secure are exceptionally good. You and your headteacher told us about the cyber-safety week.
We believe the school can be even better. We have asked it to do three main things.
- In the Nursery and Reception classes, teachers can improve their planning and particularly help children to make better use of the outside areas.
- You make good progress but standards could be higher, and we would like all teaching to be as good as the best we saw. You can help by always attending regularly and telling your teachers if your work is too hard or too easy.
- The school's leaders need to be clearer about how the things they plan to do will raise standards, so they can make sure that their plans really work.
Yours sincerely
Robert Lovett
Her Majesty's Inspector
