• Update following the monitoring visit by HMI and Ofsted

  Wed 12 Feb 2025 BS

  Following a recent monitoring visit by HMI and Ofsted, we were delighted to receive confirmation that we are travelling in the right direction!  The inspectors commented that our children were “a joy” and noted the commitment and enthusiasm of the staff.  The full letter is available however here are a few of the main highlights.

   

  “You recognise the ongoing need to improve the curriculum. In some subjects, the school has adopted commercial schemes of work. This has made a positive difference. The school’s curriculum now matches the breadth and ambition of the National Curriculum.”

   

  “The school strives to be inclusive for all. A significant amount of leaders’ work has been to ensure that the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are met.”

   

  “Staff support the school’s actions that are leading to improvements. They are optimistic and recognise the positive impact of the recent changes. They appreciate leaders’ actions to seek their views and consider their workload during this period of rapid change. They are proud of what has been accomplished so far.”

   

  “Governors are determined to ensure that the current improvements lead to lasting and sustainable changes for the school.” 

   

  “Leaders have rightly prioritised improving pupils’ behaviour and safety. Staff understand that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility...….The school’s arrangements for safeguarding are now effective.”

   

  “The plans to improve the school are suitably specific…….You continue to work with determination to ensure that the school’s values and ambitions are realised.“

   

  We will receive further monitoring visits to support the school as we continue on our journey towards becoming a “good” school.
