Ofsted Report Arrives
As you will recall, we had our Ofsted inspection on the 8th and 9th of July. As it was so near the end of term we were not allowed to tell anyone about the outcome until the official publication of the Ofsted Report. You can now view it at www.ofsted.gov.uk and search the school’s name.
I am pleased and proud to say that Ofsted had many positive things to say about Woolmore and we have been rated as a good school. They recognised the challenges that the move to the new school presented and that we managed this in a way that the children’s learning was not adversely affected. In fact, children at Woolmore achieve very well (above national averages) AND they are great people!
We are sending a copy of the Ofsted report home today (one per family) and I hope that you will enjoy reading it and feel proud of the school your children attend. There is a saying: ‘It takes a whole village to make a child’, and it makes me think about Woolmore: we all work together (parents, staff and governors) to provide the very best for our wonderful children.
Later this term we will be holding a Parent Voice session and we will have the Ofsted Report as one of the items to talk about. In the meantime we would value any feedback you have.
As always, there are areas to develop. We were already planning to work on our feedback and marking policy, we are always working on teaching and learning and we are growing new leaders. It was great that Ofsted agreed with us.
