JohnCross Gates Primary School has received a ‘good’ report from Ofsted inspectors.
The latest inspection was held in April, and the final report – published recently – said the school ranked ‘outstanding’ for its early years provision, and ‘good’ for its quality of education, leadership, personal development and behaviour and attitudes.
The report states: “Cross Gates Primary School is a happy school at the heart of the community. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with their peers and with adults. They trust that adults will help them if they ever have worries. As a result, pupils are happy and safe at school.”
There is also praise for an ‘ambitious’ curriculum that starts in the early years.
The report adds: “Some pupils do not attend school often enough and are persistently absent. This limits their achievement. The school should continue to work with those pupils, and their families, to ensure they understand the importance of being in school
regularly and on time.”
