Ofsted Report
 |
The school received an excellent Ofsted report in December 2007. Here are some excerpts: The Lloyd Williamson School meets its aims: ‘to achieve good standards; with good quality teaching; small classes; individual work programmes and a high level of pastoral support and care,’ and provides a good quality of education. The good curriculum develops the pupils’ intellectual and creative talents within a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Pupils’ personal development and the care they receive is outstanding because of the dedicated commitment of the Co-Principals and all the staff. Each child is nurtured individually, as all the parents agree, which is why they chose the school.” “The curriculum is good. It gives a strong emphasis to reading, literacy, speaking and listening, mathematics and pupils’ personal development, and pupils’ achievement in these areas is good as a result.”
“The pupils concentrated well and clearly learned and achieved what was intended. Throughout the school, relationships between staff and pupils are excellent, which gives the pupils the security and confidence to succeed, but also to make mistakes and so learn from them.”
“Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding, and their spiritual development is very strong indeed. Pupils develop markedly in confidence, sensitivity and understanding as they grow older.”
“No one is left out. As a result, their enjoyment of school and their attitudes to learning are extremely positive.”
“The Co-Principals and staff set high expectations of attendance and behaviour which all pupils meet successfully, as these are also outstanding.”
Pupils are polite and friendly to visitors and very supportive of one another. They form a cohesive family group and the older children act as very good role models for the younger ones.”
“Pupils’ cultural development is excellent.”
“Provision for the welfare and care of pupils is outstanding.”
“The school provides high quality information for parents and others.”
