“Bringing Learning to Life”

Ofsted and Performance Data

Please find below our most recent Ofsted report and relevant information from the Department for Education Performance Tables.

 

Our last Ofsted Inspection was in March 2009, where the school was judged as Outstanding.  As a result, we had been exempt from routine inspections for many years, subject instead to an external annual risk assessment.  Following a change in regulations, all Outstanding schools are now subject to routine inspection.  There have been many revisions and frameworks since the last time that we were inspected.  

Ofsted Parent View

Ofsted Parent View gives parents the chance to tell Ofsted what they think about their child's school.  The Parent View questionnaire consists of 14 questions with multiple choice responses.  Schools should encourage parents to complete Parent View at least annually.  Parents are able to complete the online questionnaire at any time.  A school needs to have 10 responses before the results can be viewed.

 

We asked our parents to complete the anonymous online questionnaire during July 2022.  We received 27 responses within a 2-week period.  A summary of the results are included below.  Parents can complete the online questionnaire or view the most up-to-date responses at any time by visiting www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk
