The headteacher at Brading Church of England Primary School is “working with tireless determination to address the areas for improvement identified in the inspection” says the latest Ofsted inspection.
The report from the first ‘Section 8’ monitoring visit since the school was found to ‘require improvement’ has been published by Ofsted today.
Highlights from report
The headteacher comes in for a lot of praise from the inspector with some of the highlights being:
- You have introduced a new system for tracking the progress pupils make and it is beginning to help teachers identify more sharply which pupils need additional support.
- Your judgements about the quality of teaching now take marking and feedback and pupil progress into account more fully, and lesson observations happen more frequently
- Year 5 pupils are making rapid progress and are on track to achieve above average attainment next year.
- Much higher proportions of Year 6 pupils than last year are now achieving better than Year 6 pupils typically do.
- Improvements in teachers’ feedback to pupils are also becoming evident in books, with pupils now having time to respond so that their rate of progress improves.
- An external review of governance has been carried out by the local authority, which found several areas for improvement.
