St Peter's CE Primary School in Harrogate is celebrating a second excellent Ofsted report of 2024.
In March, Ofsted inspectors recognised that the school continues to be ‘Good’ and on 1st October, the school’s wrap around care provision run by local company Funclubs Ltd was also inspected.
Funclubs Ltd was founded 21 years ago with St Peter’s School being its first provision.
Over the last two decades it has grown and now provides wrap around and holiday care for families across Harrogate at six different sites.
Inspectors visited St Peter’s provision earlier this month and assessed that the wrap around care, fully met all the expectations set out in the inspection framework with the inspector commenting.
The report said:
“All children enter this fun and inclusive club with a smile.
“They eagerly explore the activities on offer, which staff plan to foster children’s social skills and friendships.
“Staff are attentive to children’s needs and develop positive relationships with them.
“This reinforces their self-confidence and emotional well-being. Staff have high expectations for children’s behaviour.”
Inspectors highlighted the close working relationship between the school and the Fun club provision.
They said:
“Staff have established very secure relationships with the host school.
“The transition from school to the club is seamless.
“Staff ensure a two-way flow of information takes place with the teachers to enable them to provide consistency of care for the children who attend.”
Mr Paul Griffiths, Headteacher at St Peter’s CE Primary School, said:
“It is privilege to work with all the Funclub team. The provide a home from home for all our children who attend ensuring their time before and after school is fun, enjoyable and engaging.
“We are delighted that Ofsted have recognised the hard work and dedication that we see day in and day out.”
Jenny Rowlands Director of Funclubs Ltd, said:
“We are as passionate today as we were when we started Funclubs Ltd in January 2003.
“It is an honour to work with our partner schools and provide this essential service for working families whilst also experiencing the joy of creating a fun, social space for children to play freely and relax.
“It is so lovely to have all the hard work of our fabulous team at St Peters Funclub recognised in this report.
“With our ongoing partnership we are expanding our provision at St Peters School and we are very much looking forward to more exciting years ahead together.”
