E.T.I. Inspection September 2015

E.T.I. Inspected the school in September 2015 and placed the school in the top band for standards, achievement and leadership.  In particular they noted:

‘The school has a high level of capacity for sustained improvement in the interest of all the learners. ’

 

‘The leadership and management team is highly effective in developing school improvement.’

 

‘The quality of the provision for pastoral care is outstanding. A particular strength of the school is the involvement of the children in the very effective school and Eco-councils which develop the children’s confidence, decision-making and leadership skills.’

 

‘All of the lessons observed were of a high quality where respectful interactions between the teachers and the children contributed significantly to the positive learning environment. The teachers’ skilful questioning techniques challenge the children to think, to give reasons for their responses and to listen to others in order to plan and develop further their work.’

 

‘The children respond positively to the very effective learning opportunities provided by their teachers.’

 

The school lives out its motto, where they, ‘are committed to ensuring that every child reaches their full potential in a secure and highly supportive environment,’ as evidenced by the questionnaire returns and the inspection findings.’
