OFSTED
Our school was inspected by Ofsted on 20th and 21st Novemeber 2008. During this inspection the teamwork of the staff was praised highly and the fact that the pupils and staff both like and respect each other was identified as a real asset of our school. Pupils personal development and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding are assessed as outstanding. During the verbal debrief, the inspectors remarked that there was unparalleled pupil enjoyment as a result of our outstanding skills based curriculum.
The inspection team were extremely complimentary about teaching and learning and made particular note of how our sustainability and ecology programme at school promotes successful learning. The inspectors were also very impressed with the provision for children who are experiencing difficulties with their learning.
Inevitably, there were areas for improvement and we fully agree with the inspectors findings with regard to development as these have already been identified in our School Development Plan. In particular, strategies are already in place to challenge the more able learners and ensure that pupils are aware of how to meet their own targets and improve their learning.
