Welcome to our school
‘A GOOD SCHOOL WITH OUTSTANDING CARE, GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT’
All the stakeholders at Stower Provost are celebrating after a very successful Ofsted inspection which took place on the 17th and 18th of November 2011.
The opening statements -‘This is a good school which has improved its effectiveness since the previous inspection by raising expectations of how well pupils can achieve…… it strikes a good balance between focusing on pupils’ personal development and well-being and concentrating on academic achievement’ – set the tone of the whole report, which was positive in the extreme.
Care, guidance and support for the children were rated as ‘outstanding’. The delighted Chair of Governors, Steve Gosney, said ‘This is a traditional strength of the school and reflects its philosophy of valuing and nurturing each pupil in order to ensure their wellbeing and progress’. The governing body were praised for being well-informed and supportive and ‘for offering an effective level of challenge’.
Mrs.Julie Sanderson was appointed as Headteacher just two and a half years ago, (after a year as Acting Headteacher) and the school has gone from strength to strength under her ‘dedicated and effective’ leadership. She felt the judgements reflected accurately the enthusiasm and commitment of all the staff who give over and above what is expected of them, and the hard work and dedication of the ‘strong team’ in the school. Teaching was judged to be good to outstanding while the creative curriculum is ‘popular with pupils’.
The above average response to the parents questionnaire showed an overwhelming majority holding positive views about the school. They value the way the school looks after their children, appreciate the way the school keeps them well informed and ‘like the fact that they teach children at their own individual pace’. Strong community links are demonstrated by the substantial number of parents and volunteers who are engaged in working with the teachers in all areas of school life.
Perhaps one of the most encouraging comments was about the school’s ‘good capacity for sustained improvement’ which is reinforced by the enthusiastic staff and the headteacher’s clear vision for school development.
We are delighted that Stower Provost is in an excellent position to continue to thrive and improve, supported by a very strong team of staff, governors and parents whose sole aim is to do what is best for the children.
