Well we waited six years for our OFSTED and it arrived in June 2007. After being a 'good school' in 1997, and a 'very effective school' in 2001, together with outstanding for our extended services in 2006, we received the 'phone call and started the couple of days lead up to the latest forensic Inspection. We were absolutely delighted therefore to be identified as 'a good school with eleven Outstanding features'. This was an immense boost for our children, staff and parents. It reflects the commitment, professionalism and impact the school is having in its community.
The Governors - who were termed Outstanding - have organised a celebratory drink this Friday when staff can let their hair down.
.....and the Head, well he was termed 'inspirational' in the OFSTED Report, so he will be joining in with a glass of wine as well.
