Beecroft Primary School

Dear Parents,

Ofsted Pilot Inspection
I am sure that you will be delighted by the result of our Pilot Ofsted Inspection which took
place for 2½ days last week. The full report transcribed by the Local Authority at the feedback
session to governors is attached. Whilst the report is not published with a grade there is no
doubt that Beecroft is amongst the best schools in the country.
The report is glowing in its praise! Inspectors said, “It had been a refreshing privilege to spend
time at Beecroft Primary School” and that our school “constantly goes the extra mile”. The
pupils are described as having, “keen attitudes to learning” and there are “excellent
relationships between adults and children”. I hope that you are justly proud of our
achievements and our work together to ensure that the children in our care receive the very
best that schools can provide. Continue reading →

Download the attached leaflet which gives good practical advice for how you can help to protect your child online.
