Overview

The report details a Sustaining Improvement Inspection conducted in June 2017, noting that the school’s previous overall effectiveness was evaluated as “outstanding.” However, due to industrial action involving “action short of strike,” the inspection was severely limited, and the ETI states it is “unable to assure parents/carers... of the quality of education being provided for the children.”

Strengths

• The report confirms the school’s previous evaluation of “outstanding” overall effectiveness.
• The school provided evidence that safeguarding arrangements are “satisfactory” and “reflect broadly the guidance issued by the relevant Departments.”

Areas to improve

• The ETI was “unable to evaluate” lines of inquiry or the quality of learning and teaching within classrooms.
• The inspection could not assess the school’s capacity for improvement through self-evaluation or effective school planning.
• The school is designated as a “high priority for future inspection with no further notice.”

Safeguarding

The report states that while provided evidence showed “satisfactory arrangements,” the ETI was “unable to evaluate fully the outworking of the arrangements for safeguarding in the school” due to the industrial action.
