Ofsted
We are delighted to share with you highlights of our successful recent Ofsted report. Malmesbury continues to be a GOOD school. Thank you for your continued support; we hope you feel as proud of your children as we do.
Here are some of the lead inspector’s findings that reflect the quality of education provided by our school:
-
We spoke with lots of pupils who all said that they enjoy coming to school. They said that they felt safe at school and that bullying hardly ever happens.
-
There are strong relationships between pupils and staff.
-
Leaders, staff and governors have designed a curriculum which gives all pupils a well-rounded education.
-
Reading has a high priority in the school. Pupils want to read because they enjoy it.
-
Mathematics is another strength of the school. Pupils build up their knowledge and skills from the early years as they move up the school.
-
Pupils in all year groups learn a wide range of subjects and achieve well. They benefit from specialist teachers in music, physical education, French… They remember lots of their science learning from the experiments they do.
-
Teachers take full responsibility for the progress their pupils make. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They receive good support. Teaching assistants know pupils’ needs well. They help pupils to work independently.
-
Pupils celebrate the diverse nature of the school.
-
In the early years, staff know what pupils need to learn so that they are ready for Year 1.
Parents and carers agree that their children are safe in school.
