OfSTED

We had an OfSTED Inspection last week, when a team of 5 inspectors were in school for two days conducting a very thorough and efficient inspection.  The new OfSTED framework is much tougher, and the bar has been set much higher. The outcome will be known within 15 working days of the inspection, and the full report should be available in a month. I was impressed by the behaviour and the response of the students over the two days, and am very grateful to all members of staff who had worked so hard to ensure the smooth running of the inspection. There is every reason to believe that the final report will be extremely positive and we will ensure that all parents/carers get a copy as soon as it is released.
