The first Section 8 Ofsted inspection report for Dover Park Primary School has been issued since the school was found to Require Improvement in June.
The report states:
Senior leaders and governors are taking effective action to tackle the areas requiring improvement identified at the recent section 5 inspection.
Action required
The school should take further action to ensure that:
- wherever possible, the success of action taken to improve the school is judged according to its effect on pupils’ progress
- the governors’ pay policy recognises the importance of checking pupils’ progress when making decisions about teachers’ pay.
Action needed from council
The local authority should take further action to ensure that:
- the work of the mathematics and English consultants in the school is led by the specific areas for improvement identified in the inspection report
- the local authority “strategy group” makes consideration of pupils’ progress a central feature of its judgments about the school’s improvement.
