OFSTED

The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) is an organisation set up by the government. Their job is to inspect schools (plus other organisations) to ensure that education for children is up to set standards. They are also responsible for ensuring that children are well looked after and kept safe whilst in school.

Ofsted Said…

“Parents and carers, pupils and staff are united in their view that Newton Regis is a special community to belong to. Pupils feel happy and safe because of the caring relationships that they form with each other and staff.”

“Pupils behave well both in class and on the playground. They learn in calm and productive classrooms. Pupils enjoy earning rewards for showing good behaviour and being motivated to learn.”

“Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They are provided opportunities to develop their talents and interests alongside their peers.”

“One parent summed up the views of many stating that Newton Regis is ‘a very special school, where each child is cherished and nurtured.“

“In mathematics, pupils learn their timetables and number facts well. This helps them to calculate at speed and solve increasingly challenging mathematical problems.”

“Pupils in the early stages of learning to read are well supported to do so. They read books that are matched to the sounds they know. Those who fall behind are helped to catch up and receive additional reading sessions to enable them to do so.”

“Children in the early years get off to a good start. Staff understand their children well and plan activities linked to their interests. Children develop a sense of the world around them through the curiosity they show when exploring the outdoor environment when learning and during play. Children develop self-control and focus well on their learning activities.”
