HALF TERM NEWSLETTER
May 2009
22nd May 2009
Dear Parents/Carers/Guardians,
OFSTED OUTCOMES
As you are aware, we were inspected under Ofsted Care and Education on 6th and 7th May under a short tariff inspection and I am delighted to enclose a copy of their report, which was published yesterday.
The overall outcome of the school was good with many outstanding features. Being healthy, enjoying and achieving, personal development and wellbeing and leadership and management were all judged to be outstanding. Also improvements since the last inspection were also judged to be outstanding. All other areas were judged as good.
What an outcome. We are really pleased to know that we are doing well, but we also know there is still room for improvement.
PARENTS EVENING - 25TH JUNE 2009
If you have not already returned the form for appointments with staff, can I remind you to let us have these back when your child returns to school after the half term break. We hope you will be able to join us in an evening of celebration for all of our students here at Ratcliffe.
