Dear Parents,
As you are aware, our school was visited by an OFSTED Inspection team in 2010 and 2011. The inspection(s) were extremely rigorous, robust and thorough scrutiny of all areas of school life. We are delighted to inform you that we have not only maintained the outstanding standards we set for ourselves and realised priorities based on our previous inspection but we have once again surpassed all expectations. The lead HMI Inspector stated that ‘our school has a real Wow Factor – uncompromising and relentless in its pursuit of personalised learning; to an extent rarely seen in primary schools.’ They reported that it was a privilege to review our school and, as you can see below, were extremely complimentary.
