Dear Blogger
Message from Colin Case.
Many villagers will know that ofsted carried out an inspection at school recently.
We have just received the formal report.
We are judged GOOD overall and GOOD in all sections except Early Years Provision (our Nursery and Reception)
Whooohooo!
What better place to send your tiny ones!
And well done the staff – everyone – especially in Early Years!
The full report is now available here:-

Here's the Summary:-
Inspection dates 5-6 March 2019
Overall effectiveness Good
Effectiveness of leadership and management Good
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Good
Personal development, behaviour and welfare Good
Outcomes for pupils Good
Early years provision Outstanding
And here's another aspect judged Outstanding:-
Personal development and welfare
The school's work to promote pupils' personal development and welfare is outstanding.
Leaders support for pupils' personal development and welfare is outstanding. Pupils have a strong understanding of how to stay safe.
In addition, they appreciate the importance of living healthy lifestyles which promote their physical and mental well-being.
Knowing how to stay safe is important. Staff work hard at this, especially safety on-line.
During a recent safety audit I asked a small group of children if there was anything about safety that they found upsetting.
I was amazed when one little lad said "yes".
He explained that the fire alarm test went off during Breakfast Club recently and when they all came back inside he found it upsetting that his cornflakes had gone soggy!
But that was the only concern ??
Many thanks to the many parents who completed a Parent View Report – these reports were very helpful.
