St John’s Cathedral Primary School
Two weeks ago, our parish school was given a couple of
days’ notice telling them that they were to have an OFSTED
government inspection. I am delighted to inform you that
the school was given the status ‘Outstanding’. The report
said “This is an outstanding school: pupils’ achievements are
outstanding. Those leaving at the end of Key Stage 2 have
achieved standards above national averages. The
curriculum and care, guidance and support provided for
pupils are outstanding and contribute to an ethos of care
for individuals and to an atmosphere in which learning is
encouraged”. The report rightly recognises the excellent
staff and the good support of governors. It also says “The
Head Teacher adopts an uncompromising focus on raising
pupils achievements and their aspirations for their future
lives. She is ably supported by the Deputy Head Teacher
and the other managers”.
On behalf of the parish, I would like to congratulate our
Head and Staff. We should be proud of our Cathedral
Primary School, which is a beacon that recognises the
presence of Christ in all the pupils.
