As you know we were inspected by Ofsted this week. We should receive our draft report in approximately 18 working days.  We then have 5 working days to comment, and then it will be up to a further 30 working days when we receive our final report.

This was a Section 8 inspection which is classed as 'ungraded'. I tell you this because you won't see a detailed report when it is published. This means that the school remains good. 

I would like to extend my thanks to our wonderful pupils, many of whom completed the pupil survey giving mature and useful feedback. Additionally, many pupils read to inspectors, took part in lesson observations or pupil feedback groups.  Both inspectors thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the pupils and were impressed at their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and passion for learning.

Thank you to families who either completed the questionnaire on the Ofsted Parent Portal or who spoke to inspectors in person.  Your feedback was extremely useful, and I have taken a few points away to consider issues that were raised.

I look forward to seeing some of you in school tomorrow if your child has their annual review.

May I wish you all a very safe and happy weekend and to all our families who are celebrating Diwali
