Ofsted Report

Dear Parents & Carers,

I am delighted to be able to share with you our Ofsted report. 

This was an additional monitoring visit to assess whether leaders are taking effective action to provide an education under the current circumstances. 

I am pleased to say that we are providing an effective education for the children at Holdbrook. 

Some of the highlights include: 

• There is a consistent understanding among the staff about what needs to be done to maintain education.
• All year groups have a range of learning activities for the day.
• Teachers provide regular and helpful feedback to the pupils
• The parents that spoke to the inspectors or completed the survey were positive about the school and the education that the children are receiving
• The pastoral team works closely with families . 
• Leaders have a strong understanding of children with additional needs.
• Pupils with SEND are given support and guidance from staff to enable them to learn effectively

The last year has not been easy for many of us, but this report reflects how hard the staff have been working for your children.  We will continue to develop and improve as we strive to get a Good at our next full inspection. 

Kind regards,

Charlotte Angeli & Caroline Jenkins

Headteacher and Chair of Governors
