Ledbury Primary School has been celebrating after receiving a glowing Ofsted report over the summer.

The school was graded ‘good’ by inspectors, who also thought it was outstanding in some areas.

An inspection took place on June 14 and 15, with Ofsted publishing its findings on July 28.

The report says staff and pupils share “the same high aspirations” and that a strong emphasis is placed on pupils’ personal development.

“Throughout the school, including in the early years, positive relationships between teachers, pupils, parents and carers help pupils to be confident and happy,” Ofsted says.

“Children in the early years have an excellent start to their school life.

“Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are respectful and positive.

“In the classroom, a minority of pupils show some low-level, off-task behaviours.

“Staff understand the precise needs of these pupils. They act quickly and efficiently to address any behaviour issues.”

Headteacher Rachel Ussher said: “We are delighted that the Ofsted Inspectors recognised not just the academic successes that our pupils achieve, but also the excellent personal development, 'ambitious curriculum' and high aspirations shared by all.

“They found that pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning were 'respectful and positive' and that the positive relationships across the school enable pupils to 'be confident and happy'.

“This was a full, graded inspection of the school which had a 'good' rating overall.

“However, in the areas of personal development, leadership and management, and early years we were graded at outstanding.

“We look forward to welcoming any families to our Open Days to see the caring ethos and exciting curriculum that we have to offer for themselves.”

The school’s open days take place on October 17, when parents and carers are invited to take a look around from 1.30pm-3pm and 6pm-7pm.

There are more chances to see the school on October 18, from 9.15am-11am and 1.30pm-3pm.
