Inspection Testimonials
“…A message from all the staff of the school to commend you for your work as registered inspector here. It was an excellent endorsement for us all. I have been most personally impressed with your conduct of the inspection and your professionalism during the whole process.” John Beckett M.Ed. Headteacher, Beechwood Primary School. John Becket was in his third Headship and has lectured to Registered Inspectors in London.
“I would like to take the opportunity to praise the team for their very positive, yet challenging approach to the inspection. We were very grateful for their offers to share good practice which they had seen in other schools. The team were very professional and very human which made this very stressful experience much more bearable.” Jackie Greenhalgh, Headteacher, Alt Primary School. Jackie Greenhalgh was relatively new to headship at the time of the inspection.
"I received the draft report this morning and am very pleased with it, thank you. I feel it is a true reflection of our school, with some very useful points for improvement, there are many things for myself, the staff and governors to pick up on and I am hopeful that this will help us move closer to our goals. Many thanks for providing such a supportive inspection, it will certainly help our school to move forward. (quickly, I hope!)." Later the same headteacher wrote, “Many thanks for your encouragement in going for the award” [Investors in People Award]. “Thank you for having faith in us.” Rosie Campbell, Headteacher, Westfield Primary School. The school's Year 6 National Curriculum test results improved considerably after the inspection.
