Park Lane Primary and Nursery School, which is a member of the Aspire Learning Trust is celebrating a successful Ofsted inspection carried out in July which graded the school “good” and reported that “pupils achieve well” and that “they know there is an unspoken rule of kindness and treating others with care and respect, which they follow”.
The report recognised that “The school is an exciting place to be” and that “Pupils enjoy the fun and interesting activities that staff plan for them.
In addition, the school’s curriculum was praised with the Ofsted report stating, “The school’s curriculum enables pupils to build knowledge over time” and “The early years curriculum is well-organised”.
Duncan Ramsey, Chief Executive Officer of Aspire Learning Trust, said “We are immensely proud of this wonderful report which highlights a number of achievements at Park Lane School. I am particularly pleased that the report stated that pupils behave in a calm and purposeful way and that staff are caring and patient.”
Executive Headteacher Rob Litten said “I am delighted. We want nothing more than to do our very best for the children and their families. The Ofsted report recognises what a special place the school is. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff, children, and their families for making this possible.’’
To improve, inspectors said that in some subjects the school needs to set out precisely the key knowledge pupils will need so that they make strong progress across the full range of subjects.
