Dear Parent/Carer

Further to our latest newsletter which mentioned our Ofsted inspection, we are now sending you a copy of the full report. This has either been emailed to you personally, or sent home with your child. Additionally, each Broadstone pupil has received a letter from the Lead Inspector.

Ofsted has made some radical changes to their inspection regime and we were one of the first schools to face the rigour of this new framework. The inspection team spent two days in the school, considering the evidence presented to them.

We urge you to read the report in its entirety. You will see that our inspection recognised the many positive features of the school, while identifying areas for improvement. Quite rightly the focus of the new inspection was on teaching and learning. Pupils’ safety and their cultural and social development were also closely assessed. Although we were naturally disappointed with some of our overall grades, we were encouraged to see that a number of judgements were in agreement with the school’s current vision for improvement and development.

We consider the Ofsted inspection process as a useful tool for the development of schools and we intend to react positively to its judgements. We welcome the support of you as parents and carers and if you have any concerns arising from the report please do not hesitate to contact the school.

We want to assure you that, as recognised by the inspection team, the staff and governors are determined to build on existing strategies for improvement.

Yours sincerely

Mr A Johnson (Headteacher) and Mrs J Hattemore (Chair of Governors)
