Dear Parents/Carers
Ofsted Inspection July 2024
We are delighted to share the official report from our OFSTED inspection.
During the one-day visit, inspectors were provided with a snapshot of school life. We are proud to celebrate that we have achieved a grading of ‘Good’ across all aspects of the inspection and that the process was challenging and rigorous and all areas of the school were observed.
The two inspectors had the opportunity to question pupils, teachers, staff and governors. We would like to thank all parents for the fantastic feedback they shared with OFSTED via Parent View.
The inspectors commented on so many positive aspects of school life at Freshfield Nursery School:
“Children thrive at Freshfield. They arrive at school each day happy and excited to see their friends.”
“The school has high expectations for children’s achievements.”
“Children are enthused by their learning. They are curious, have high levels of concentration and take great pride in their achievements.”
“Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are prepared well for the next stage in their education.”
“Children including two-year olds, follow well established routines. For example, they learn how to tidy up, put their lunchbox on the trolley, take out their snack and organise their belongings’”
We are continually improving school always seeking feedback, so it was affirming to see that the areas OFSTED highlighted for improvement were already on our school development plan with a clear strategy and progress being made as we enhance our assessments and refine our curriculum. We will continue to enhance and develop these areas updating the school development plan and sharing with parents on the school website.
We look forward with enthusiasm improving our school and ensuring all our pupils develop a lifelong love of learning, achieve highly, continue to learn happily and enjoy belonging to our nurturing school.
We would like to thank all those involved in the inspection, children, Governors, staff and parents. We would also like to express our thanks to our retiring Headteacher, Liz Richardson for working tirelessly for the benefit of all children.
Kind regards
The Governors of Freshfield Nursery School
