Isle of Wight primary school taking effective action, says Ofsted

A year after Brighstone Primary School was judged by Ofsted to ‘Require Improvement’, a return visit has found the primary school’s senior leaders and governors are taking effective action to tackle the areas requiring improvement identified in order to become a ‘Good’ school.

Changes being made
Since the last inspection the school has a new headteacher, new SENCo and three new teachers in key stage 2. In addition the Governing body has been reformed with a new chair, new vice-chair and five new governors.

In her report, the inspector clearly recognises the efforts being made to ensure the school becomes a ‘Good’ school, acknowledging the work of all involved.

Action required
In order to improve the school should take further action to:

  • accurately identify strengths and weaknesses of the school through robust self evaluation
  • strengthen the school improvement plan by including current priorities for improvement as well as those identified in the previous inspection, which have not yet been fully addressed.
