Ofsted

Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in May 2009.

Here is a summary of the report and the excellent feedback we received:-

Overall effectiveness of the school

"This is a good school...Aspects of the school's provision are outstanding, most notably the Early Years Foundation Stage and the care, guidance and support given to pupils throughout the school."

"The children make exceptional progress and most exceed the expected goals for learning by the end of Reception. This rapid progress continues in Years 1 and 2 in reading, writing and mathematics. Standards by the end of Year 6 are usually well above average."

"A significant number of questionnaires returned by parents commented on the high quality of teaching."

"Pupils' tremendous enjoyment of school is reflected in their excellent behaviour, their good attendance and their enthusiasm for learning."

"The school maintains the highest standards of pastoral care."

The Headteacher's "clear vision and purposeful leadership are strengthening still further the collective responsibility for school improvement amongst all staff."

"...the governing body...ensures that the school sets itself challenging targets."

Effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage

In the Foundation Stage "children's learning is of the highest quality, due to outstanding teaching and the creation of a well-organised, richly stimulating environment both indoors and outdoors."

"Leadership and management of the Early Years Foundation Stage are outstanding."

We are delighted with the judgements and are continuing to work as a team to build upon our successes.
