It is with great pride that I am able to share the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection. It has just been published and is the loveliest of ways with which to end this half-term. It is linked here and really is worth reading. It highlights so many aspects of our school, such as how good our curriculum, wider development and culture are. I hope you feel the same sense of pride I did when I read it.
It's always important for parents and carers to be reassured that Ofsted found our safeguarding to be effective. However - this is just their standard sentence. Inspectors also told us we have a 'strong safeguarding culture' and that pupils feel safe and trust us.
Highlights from the report are:
Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum
Pupils are very clear about how the school expects them to behave. They are respectful towards staff. In lessons, pupils are attentive and behave well.
Pupils behave well and there is a calm atmosphere in the school
Pupils are happy. They are committed to the school and to serving the community.
The school has designed an ambitious and well-defined curriculum
Reading is top priority in this school
It's just a really proud moment, and we are so pleased and proud of our pupils and staff and wanted to share with you as our biggest supporters - day in, day out, we work together so it is a real privilege to share this great news with you all - we hope you have a lovely break, and we look forward to a very happy and successful final half-term from Monday 3rd June.
We're changing the way we communicate with you!
