Who would have thought that since the last newsletter we would have had two inspections!

The Christmas holidays are always a special time for me and my family, we get to spend some precious time together watching films, going for walks and playing silly games! This Christmas was even more special knowing that Ofsted had been and gone and the result was even better than I could have imagined.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments, leading a fully integrated Nursery School & Children‘s Centre like St Edmund‘s is really hard work but reading the inspection reports brought tears to my eyes and makes everything worthwhile.

“This school continues to provide an outstanding education for children. `The St Edmund‘s experience is something very special‘, and `My children love it and so do I‘ are comments that typify the overwhelmingly positive views of parents and carers. By working closely together as a highly effective staff team, since the previous inspection, the school has gone from strength to strength, building successfully on its track record of outstanding achievement. Improvements in children‘s attendance, to the outstanding quality of teaching, enhancement of the excellent curriculum, along with even stronger partnerships fostered with a growing number of parents and carers, are just a few examples of the many recent successes. Apart from children’s attainment and their attendance both of which are above average, all aspects of the school’s work are outstanding.”
