Ofsted OUTSTANDING – Third time in a row!

We are delighted to share with you, the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection.

St. Andrew’s Montessori school was judged to be outstanding in all aspects of teaching and learning, attainment, behaviour and leadership resulting in an overall rating of OUTSTANDING! This is the best result that any school can hope to achieve and is our third outstanding inspection in a row.

To quote our Ofsted Inspector, Anna Hindaugh-Feldman stated that…

“Staff effortlessly follow children’s emerging interests and help them to develop a very strong sense of belonging and an excellent emotional stability”.

“Children demonstrate unapologetic enthusiasm for learning and discovery. They have enquiring minds and are curious, quizzical and eager to learn”.

“The highly-qualified and experienced leadership and staff team successfully fulfils the highest of expectations for all children. They create a vibrant, inspiring environment”.

“Team morale is high. Leaders place exceptional attention on supporting staff’s emotional well-being, including managing their workload”.

“The quality of teaching is consistently excellent”.

We encourage you to read our full inspection report which is available on our website, paper copies are also available in our Reception area. Samantha, Nici and the Team thank parents and carers again for their continued support, which helps to make our school an outstanding place for our children to play and learn and our teachers to sprinkle their magic!
