There were smiles all around at Escomb Primary School as staff, pupils and families celebrated a super ‘all green’ achievement following the school’s latest Ofsted inspection back in April.
Inspectors awarded the school green in all seven areas Achievement, Attendance and Behaviour, Curriculum and Teaching, Early Years, Inclusion, Leadership and Governance, Personal Development and Wellbeing. Ofsted recognised the hard work taking place across every aspect of school life. The result reflects the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment shown by the entire school community.
Headteacher Mrs Emma Woodhouse and staff expressed their delight at the outcome, describing it as a reflection of the teamwork that exists throughout the school. They also thanked parents and carers for their continued support, which plays an important role in the school’s success.
The report is a testament to the passion and commitment of everyone at Escomb Primary School, from teachers and support staff to governors, families and, most importantly, the children themselves.
