01/09/2008 - Outstanding Ofsted!
St. Edward's had a visit from the Ofsted inspectors in July 2008.
We are delighted that the strengths of the school were recognised with the grade of "outstanding" for everything!
Here are some quotes from the Ofsted report:
"This is an outstanding school where pupils learn exceptionally well. The school fully meets its aim: "For all children to reach their potential academically, spiritually, morally, socially, creatively and physically." This is because of outstanding leadership and management, an exceptionally rich curriculum, outstanding teaching quality, and excellent care, support and guidance for all learners."
"Pupils say, "We'd like the school to be a bit bigger but apart from that its perfect." They especially like the teachers, explaining, "You can have a conversation with them. The fun in the lessons makes you work hard and gives you confidence."
"Standards are high and achievement is outstanding."
"There is outstanding provision for pupils with learning difficulties ...... equally, more able pupils are exceptionally well challenged. ..... As a result, two-thirds of pupils consistently exceed expected levels in English and mathematics and almost all pupils exceed them in science."
"Behaviour is exemplary ....."
"Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for their future lives ...."
"Governance is outstanding ....... the school has an outstanding capacity to improve further."
