Ofsted Inspection and Parent View

Ofsted Inspection - January 2025

I am absolutely thrilled to share some good news about our school! As you know, we had our OFSTED inspection at the end of January. They came to see how well our school is doing and how we are helping your children to learn and grow. 

I’m so proud to tell you that the inspectors were impressed with the progress we’ve made together. They saw big improvements in all the areas they looked at. We are firmly out of Special Measures and have moved up in every single area. This is a fantastic achievement, especially as so many of our teachers, including me, have only been here a short time. It shows just how hard everyone has worked – the children, the teachers and all the staff. 

What does this mean for your child? It means that our school is getting better and better at giving them the best possible start in life. We’re teaching them more effectively, making sure they’re happy and well-behaved and helping them to grow into confident and well-rounded individuals. 

This amazing progress wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you for working with us, for trusting us with your children and for being such a wonderful community. We know there are still things we need to improve and we will continue to work hard to make our school even better. We are committed to providing the very best education for every child. 

You will receive a copy of the full inspection report today. It explains everything in more detail. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school office. We are always happy to help. 

Thank you again for being part of our school family. 

Yours sincerely, 

Miss Dempsey
