Ofsted
We are delighted to be able to share the letter from our latest visit from OfSTED, which confirms we continue to be a ‘good’ school. The 4 key judgements are below
- Quality of education Good
- Behaviour and attitudes Good
- Personal development Good
- Leadership and management Good
We are particularly pleased that the report highlights a number of strengths across the school and recognises the hard work we have engaged in. It was particularly pleasing that the inspectors felt that our curriculum is aspirational, well designed and both challenging and accessible to all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Our approach to attendance is described as ‘highly effective’ and inspectors noted the strong relationships that exist between school and home. Our positive behaviour management is also seen as a strength of our school and our safeguarding procedures are effective.
Some quotes from parents of pupils at our school:
"Our son has had amazing opportunities to build his confidence and learn many skills. These have been residentials, ukulele concerts, speaking to an audience, dressing up days, visits and visitors to make learning engaging. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education both our children receive."
"My daughter has participated in a number of experiences that make her time at Portway truly exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my child to the school in future."
"Portway Junior has been a joy for our daughter - she has flourished in such a creative and supportive environment."
"Thank you for inviting me to be part of the sports ‘help team’. I had a wonderful afternoon and the children were amazing - excellent Ambassadors for Portway. I was particularly pleased to see how well all the children had come on and their support for and dedication to each other. They had a great opportunity and were a real credit to the school."
