Dear Parents and Carers,
I am delighted to inform you that the Ofsted report from our two-day graded inspection in November is now available on the school website and will be released on the Ofsted site within the next 5 working days.
I am delighted to confirm that the school continues to be ‘Good’ in all 4 areas of the Ofsted Inspection framework.
The process was detailed and rigorous and I am very pleased that this is acknowledged. I would like to thank all those who took part in the inspection: staff, governors, parents and pupils alike. I am very pleased that the hard work undertaken by all in the school community has been recognised, including the systems in place, the reflective and driven nature of staff, the behaviour and attitude of the pupils and the rate at which the school is making progress.
The report itself highlights the many elements of good provision at Flushing School as well as the next step needed to take the school forward. What is very satisfying is that the area mentioned was within the development plan prior to the inspection and is already at the action stage with the support from our new SENCO, Mrs Williams, and staff training planned in for this academic year.
I do hope that you will take the time to read the inspection report in full as it represents a school that is not only good, but one that aims to improve further and with the children at the heart of its work. Once again, may I thank all those involved in the inspection itself, especially the staff, parents, governors and of course, children; all of whom help to make Flushing School the special place it is. If you would like a paper copy of the report, please contact the school office. Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Carolyn Power
