Ofsted

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have now received the full report from OFSTED following our inspection on the 24th and 25th September 2024. I am very pleased to distribute this to you. The report will be published on the OFSTED website next week. However, we are allowed to distribute it to parents and carers in advance. This inspection was carried out under the OFSTED Framework for graded inspections which came into force from the 16th September 2024. As part of the new framework, schools will no longer be judged by an overall grade. Instead, each area receives an individual grade.

I am delighted that we have achieved judgements good or outstanding for each section of the report. Please take time to read the report as it sets out the school’s many strengths and highlights our next steps. What is very pleasing is that all the areas listed were within the School Improvement plan prior to the inspection and some were already at action stages.

This report reflects the huge amount of work undertaken at Roxeth over time as well as our ongoing commitment to making Roxeth an exceptional environment for learning and achievement.

I would like to thank everyone for their support during the inspection. The children are fantastic and are a great asset to the school and we are all very proud of them. I would like to thank all the families for their overwhelming positive support and also the governors who continue to challenge and support the school in all areas.

Lastly, a huge thank you to all the staff. Their dedication to the children at Roxeth is absolutely amazing! None of this would be possible to achieve on my own and the staff here at Roxeth do a brilliant job every day to ensure your children are safe and learn to the best of their ability.

We will continue to make improvements this year and beyond. We are looking forward to continuing our journey of learning together, making progress and achieving goals.
