Dear Parents / Carers,
You are probably aware that the school received an Ofsted inspection just before the Easter break. The report has now been finalised and will be available to view on the Ofsted website from Friday 27th April 2018. Attached is a paper copy for you to read ahead of the publication online. We have also published a copy of the report on our school website.
Arbury Primary School is a very special school, and this has been recognised in this Ofsted report. Our commitment to an exciting curriculum, the care we have for our children and our strong reputation for celebrating difference all come through clearly. We couldn’t be more proud of what we have achieved.
We trust that you enjoy reading our glowing report. We would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff, children, governors, volunteers, parents and carers for their supportive and enthusiastic contribution to the inspection process.
Yours
Ben Tull David Maher
Headteacher Chair of Governors
