Good evening Parents / Carers.

Welcome to our first of many letters in colour!

OFSTEDYesterday we welcomed the Governments OFSTED team into our wonderful school. They were coming to look at maths throughout the school. I am very pleased to say that they enjoyed their visit and gave us some really useful guidance for the future to make us even better. As we want our school to be the best school, we are already working hard to make the changes to make our children better.

The main headlines were:The children’s behaviour was good if not outstandingThe recall of times tables was consistently quickThe teaching of arithmetic was direct and very proceduralGood progress in all classesThe enthusiasm all children showed in maths

What we need to do next:Apply these solid arithmetic skills across all areas of maths (multi step word problems).

It really was an excellent exercise for the school to showcase itself. A special thanks to ALL the teaching staff, TA’s, cleaners and lunchtime staff for rising to the challenge ….. and a million thanks to Marc, Lilyrose, Edouardine, Sophie, Danny and Jack in Y5, all of whom were taken from class and interviewed by the inspectors. They were “really enthusiastic and could have talked about maths all day if they had the chance….. they were a real credit to the school.” (Adrian Guy Chief HMI Inspector).

So we will continue to move to infinity and beyond.

Early to bed and early into school.
