Ofsted Reports
In our last Ofsted Inspection (June 2013) we were judged to be “a good school in all areas”.
I am thrilled that the inspectors recognised the tireless hard work, commitment, dedication and diligent professionalism that are evident across school and how the school has improved over time because of the relentless drive for excellence.
The inspectors noted that ‘achievement has risen quickly to the point where it is now good. In the Early Years Foundation Stage, achievement is outstanding.’
Additionally, they state that ‘pupils say they feel very safe in school and bullying has stopped and behaviour has improved ‘massively’. As a result they feel safe and secure in the school.’
Our “good” judgement will not bring complacency and we continue to share a constant desire for improvement. Our targets from the inspection support our drive to achieve ‘outstanding’. The areas that we will be working on are:
- Improve the quality of teaching and raise achievement further so that they become outstanding by ensuring that:
- the quality of teaching reading and writing in Key Stage 1 is always at least good.
- in all lessons, pupils are motivated to learn by being given ample opportunities to solve problems and work collaboratively rather than spending time listening to overly long instructions.
- Improve leadership and management at all levels so that they become outstanding by:
- ensuring all leaders are able to use data very precisely to target, address and improve remaining areas of weakness in the quality of teaching.
As a school we continue in our strive for excellence and look forward to moving the school from strength to strength.
