OFSTED report
We are pleased to inform you that, following our recent inspection which took place over 2 days in February, we have now recieved our final report which you can access by clicking here.
The report confirms that Ivybridge Primary continues to be a good school, we achieved a good grading in each of the different areas considered by the inspection team. They recognised the high expectations that we have for all pupils and the work that we put in to ensure that they are safe and happy in school. They said that “pupils enjoy school and value the caring and nurturing staff” and that “pupils behave well across the school.”
They looked in depth at the curriculum we offer and said that “leaders’ curricular thinking is well developed and ambitious”, “pupils develop secure mathematical knowledge and skills” and that “leaders have given reading high priority.” Please do read the full report!
We are constantly working to improve the school even further and will look carefully at the two points for development which the inspectors identified and ensure we address these quickly.
Community Recycle Scheme
This new scheme donates a collection of second-hand, overstocked and end-of-line equipment to schools in the UK. A wide range of items has already been given away, including shade sails, post pad protectors and colourful fence pales. The full range of items can be viewed online, where requests can also be submitted. Several companies are involved with this initiative, including A&S Landscape a supplier of canopies for schools.
Pupils Join the Times Education Commission
Two of our Year 6 pupils, Moriah and Azaan joined pupils from other primary schools across the country to discuss the future of education. Yesterday they featured in a special supplement in the The Times newspaper. Click here to read the online article that accompanied the publication.
Well done Moriah and Azaan for being such amazing ambassadors for our school – we are very proud of you!
