Primary school’s ‘good’ Ofsted

A primary school that had previously been told it requires improvement has now been rated good by inspectors.

Gosberton Academy was also rated outstanding for its early years provision following the Ofsted inspection on June 14 and 15.
“Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming and inclusive school,” the report into the school which is part of the Voyage Education Partnership states. “They enjoy exciting learning opportunities and their enthusiasm for school life is clear to see.
“Positive attitudes to learning extend throughout the school.
“Warm relationships between adults and pupils are well established. Classrooms are calm spaces, where pupils show consistently positive attitudes towards their learning.
“Leadership is effective at all levels. Leaders have a clear vision: to ensure that all pupils reach their potential.
“Staff feel that leaders value them and are considerate of their workload.
“Staff are proud to work at the school.
“Trustees and trust leaders know the school well.
“They have played a key role in helping the school to improve.”
The report continues that leaders have improved the curriculum in “most subjects”.
On where it needs to improve the report continues: “In many subjects, including in English and mathematics, the school’s high ambition is realised.
“However, this is not yet the case in all subjects. As a consequence, pupils do not demonstrate the same depth of understanding and knowledge in a very small number of subjects, such as in personal, social and health education, as they do in most subjects. Leaders should ensure that pupils reach the same high levels of achievement in all subjects.”
