Ofsted acknowledge positive progress made by Harrogate school

Friday, 10 September 2021 12:00

Woodfield Community Primary School has been recognised by Ofsted for taking 'effective action' towards the removal of special measures.

A school in Harrogate has been recognised by Ofsted for taking 'effective action' towards the removal of special measures.

Woodfield Community Primary School received a two-day Ofsted inspection in June and inspectors have acknowledged progress made by the school in the last year. This was the first monitoring inspection since the school became subject to special measures following an inspection in January 2020.

Mathew Atkinson, Executive Headteacher said:

"There are many things to celebrate in the report: attendance, SEND, behaviour and the curriculum have all improved and we have clear areas to continue to develop.

"We are taking the right actions towards the removal of special measures and we are looking forward to another great year at Woodfield."

The Ofsted report also reads that parents are very positive about the school.

All those who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, would recommend the school to other parents.

Jo Marwood, Head of School said:

"We are proud of the report from Her Majesty’s inspectors and it confirms all the hard work that our students, staff, parents and Governors put in to making Woodfield such a great school for our community.

"We would like to say thank you for the dedication of staff, the children, parents and Governors and the support we have received from the local community."

Woodfield Community Primary School have pledged to continue their hard work to further develop their offer so pupils receive the very best education.
