School Ofsted Success!

We send our heartfelt congratulations to everyone at our Parish School for the wonderful outcome of their recent Ofsted inspection. The Inspectors consider our school to be a “Good” school with many strong features, which ensures that every pupil makes good progress and is ready to move on to secondary school. Clearlythis is a team effort that has involved the HeadTeacher and Leadership Team, the teaching and support staff and pupils and parents. The members of the Governing Body have also been instrumental in achieving this outcome, and we thank them, and especially our Foundation Governors for their work. Ifyou would be interested in joining the Governing Body and supporting this work, please speak to Fr Mark.
