Ofsted Report 2009
We are all very proud of our school. Our latest Ofsted report accurately reflects all our views of the school and it reassures us about the quality of care and education that each child receives.
Here are some of the things Ofsted said about us after our very successful inspection in December 2009:
“Kirkburton is a good school. Several aspects of the school’s work are outstanding and these contribute significantly to pupils receiving a good education and achieving well. Achievement is good and standards are above average”
“…make good progress in Key Stage 3 so that they are in a good position to achieve well at high school…”, “…Pupils from Kirkburton do well in all subjects and most reach above average standards by the time they move to their local high school.”
…good quality of teaching and learning”
“…teachers use a wide range of challenging and imaginative activities, delivered at a brisk pace, to motivate their pupils.”
“There is a very strong inclusive school community based on shared values where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities work, play, learn and achieve as equals with other pupils.”
“The headteacher and senior team have a clear vision for the school and monitor and evaluate the school’s work well.”
“…particular strengths in personal, social and health education and the wide range of clubs, sporting and creative, open to all pupils.”
“Pupils contribute well to the school community. They act as ‘befrienders’ for other pupils, raise money for charities, organise ‘eco-school’ activities and help devise menus for the school dining hall. Their mature and extremely good behaviour, and care and respect for each other create a calm and welcoming place in which to learn.”
But please, don’t take their word for it, come and see us!
