Text from letter to pupils explaining the findings of the inspection
"Thank you for being so welcoming to us when we visited your school. We enjoyed meeting you very much, joining you for lunch and seeing some of your lessons.
We found your school to be highly successful, very well run and caring. It is an excellent school, just like many of you told us it was. It helps all of you to make exceptionally good progress. School leaders do an outstanding job in seeing that the school maintains such high quality work. You are sensible, hard working and behave extremely well. Your teachers and teaching assistants are very skilled at helping you to do your best and they teach you very well. We think that you could be helped to make even better progress in ICT and have asked your teachers to find ways to do this. Your understanding of spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues is excellent and you clearly enjoy school.
We were pleased to see all the good sport that you play and the fruit and vegetables that you eat to try and keep healthy. You work and play very well together and we think that this, alongside your very good skills in discussion, in literacy and numeracy and for working life, will stand you in very good stead for the future. Your teachers see to it that you have an excellent range of activities and links to other schools to help you learn well and improve many of your skills. We are really impressed with the new sports hall and your excellent physical education. The school is very good at keeping you safe, at helping you to become well-rounded people, in guiding you in reaching your targets and in making sure you are exceptionally well prepared for your future lives. You clearly play a vital part in the success of the school.
We wish you all the very best in the future.
Yours sincerely Lead Inspector"
