Ofsted Report
In our most recent Ofsted inspection, we were delighted to be recognised as a ‘Good’ school. The overall judgement of GOOD filled us with pride, especially given the multitude of incredibly positive comments we received.
It is truly gratifying to see that the hard work and dedication of everyone in our school community have been acknowledged. Staff and Governors are really pleased with the report. All the staff have worked extremely hard since our previous inspection to make further improvements and are very happy with such a pleasing report. We are very proud of the children and how they conducted themselves during the two-day inspection. The children presented as they always do; as polite, well spoken, well behaved, caring and knowledgeable members of the school. They really were a credit to you as parents.
A huge thankyou to all the Governors of the Federation who work voluntarily attending meetings, visiting school etc to help the school move forward strategically.
We are already actioning our areas for improvement and will continue to strive to provide the best education for the community we serve.
