• School reopening to all pupils from Monday 8th March

  Wed 24 Feb 2021
  As you will no doubt be aware, school will reopen to all pupils on Monday 8th March.  Thank you for everyone for your efforts and support over the last few weeks.  There will likely be lots of further news and advice over the next few days.  As you know, we often find things out at the same time as you!  We will post updates on our website and social media pages as and when we receive them.  Look out for further information over the next few days.  We're very much looking forward to seeing everyone back in school!

• Ofsted Inspection - Tuesday 23rd February 2021

  Mon 22 Feb 2021

  Ofsted will be inspecting school remotely on Tuesday 23rd February and would like to know what our parents think about the school.  Your views about the school are important to Ofsted.

   

  If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on

  sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can share your views about the

  school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at:

  www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.

   

  Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child's school,

  including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school

  deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to

  make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey

  responses when inspecting your child's school.

   

  To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be

  held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the

  online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.

   

  Please complete the online survey as soon as possible, preferably by 11am on the

  day of the inspection, as this will give the inspection team more time to consider

  your views.

   

  Please also see our operational note: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/january-2021-maintained-schools-and-academies

   

  Privacy notice

  During the inspection of your school, the inspectors will collect information about

  staff and children at the school by looking at school records, responses to any staff

  survey where appropriate, and discussing with leaders the actions they are taking to

  provide all pupils with an education during current circumstances. No names will be

  recorded but some of the information may make it possible to identify a particular

  individual. Ofsted uses this information to prepare its report and for the purposes set

  out in its privacy policy. Ofsted will not publish any information that identifies an

  individual in the report but may name the headteacher and the chair of the

  appropriate authority.

   

  More information is available in Ofsted privacy notice:
