Ofsted 2008
"This is a satisfactory school. The school is improving and there are some good features, such as the partnerships with others that support pupils in many ways, the pastoral care and the way pupils’ personal development and well-being are nurtured. Parents have generally positive views of the school, although a small number have some concerns about behaviour. However, the school’s positive approach to behaviour and the high priority given to showing respect for others has had a big impact on standards of behaviour, which are now good. Overall, pupils’ personal development is good."
As you are aware the school received a government inspection by Ofsted in July 2008. The staff and governors are pleased with the result.
The purpose of school inspections is to report on a school’s overall effectiveness and the achievements and standards which the children reach.
The two day inspection undertaken by a team of three inspectors rigorously challenged, investigated and questioned the quality of education and pastoral support which we provide we were therefore pleased that the team confirmed our own evaluation of the school; the outcome being an agreement between the inspectors and school about the priorities which the staff and governors have set in order for the school to continue to develop.
