OXLEY Primary School is celebrating after being given the thumbs-up by Ofsted after its latest inspection.
The school was rated by the Inspector as good in its first inspection since 2013 and the first under headteacher Jason Gilman.
In the report, the school is praised for a warm and nurturing environment, where staff and pupils can thrive and highlighted school improvement plans that focus upon delivering highquality teaching, learning and assessment.
It said: “The positive ethos of ‘I can’ is echoed by the pupils and staff. One pupil said that pupils are at school to ‘work hard and try our best’. Pupils thrive on the positive praise they receive from adults on a daily basis.
“Parents speak warmly of the care that you and your staff give to their children. They feel that they are fully involved in their children’s learning, particularly because they receive daily updates through the school’s online reward system. They know that should they have a concern, they can meet with their child’s class teacher.
“Parents spoke highly of the care you provide for pupils who have specific medical needs. They are appreciative of your team’s support and expertise.”
With regards to effective safeguarding the report said: “Messages about keeping children safe are supporting pupils to make the right choices and seek adult support should they have concerns.”
Headteacher Jason Gilman said: “I am delighted that the report has recognised the excellent work taking place in our school. We can now use the feedback to help us go from strength to strength!”
