Congratulations to all at Wroxall Primary School who have managed to move up a notch on the Ofsted rating from ‘Satisfactory’ to ‘Good’.
An inspection of the school took place in November and found that the school was ‘Good’ in all areas, Achievement of pupils, Quality of teaching, Behaviour and safety of pupils and Leadership and management.
Some of the highlights from the report include:
- Pupils’ levels of attainment are above average by the end of Year 6 and reflect their good achievement at this much improved school.
- Progress is at least good and is often outstanding, especially in Reception and Year 1 and in the Year 6 class, in response to excellent teaching.
- Teaching is good. Standards continue to rise and are especially high in mathematics, in which all pupils, but especially those with more ability, are fully challenged by consistently good and better teaching.
- Teachers’ planning of lessons, clear identification of learning objectives and careful indication of what pupils need to do next to improve in their marking are strong features across the school.
- All adults working in the school, including several volunteers, provide excellent care and support. As a result, pupils behave well, feel very safe and enjoy school.
- This friendly little school provides a stimulating range of learning activities in support of the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, most notably instrumental music, topic studies and sports.
- The exemplary leadership of the headteacher, strongly supported by skilled middle leaders and a dedicated, well-organised governing body, has successfully steered the school through a significant period of change and improved the quality of teaching and learning.
- High staff morale and close links with parents further support the strong drive for further improvement.
