Ofsted

Our last Ofsted inspection was in October 2018 and we were judged to be a ‘good school’ in all areas.

The report notes:

This is a 'good school' because:

• Pupils’ achievements in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of key stage 2 are good. Pupils’ progress continues to improve year on year.
• Parents are overwhelmingly positive about how happy and safe their children are. They praise the care and support that the school provides for their children.
• Leaders and governors are ambitious for the pupils and provide a good quality of education.
• Leaders provide pupils with a rich and creative curriculum that underpins teaching and learning. Pupils build their knowledge well across a range of subjects. The quality of pupils’ work in art is particularly impressive.
• Leadership of the early years is effective. Adults provide precise teaching so that children make good progress from their individual starting points. They are well prepared for Year 1.
• Rattlesden is an inclusive school which is at the heart of the small, rural village community. Staff develop strong relationships with pupils and their families.
• Staff use their knowledge of pupils effectively when planning learning. As a result, individual pupils’ needs are well met.
• Pupils are enthusiastic about learning. They enjoy school and are kind and caring towards each other. ​
