Ofsted and Performance
OFSTED
As a new school, we received a pre-registration visit from Ofsted on June 17th. We were delighted that Ofsted submitted their report to the DfE, with no conditions for opening attached.
This visit is for Ofsted and the Department for Education to ensure we are fully prepared for opening in September. It involved a scrutiny of documentation, safeguarding, visit to the site alongside in-depth questions to a variety of school and Trust members.
Whilst the visit is different to a full school inspection, this was a crucial step for the school and confirmed that we have crossed all the t’s and dotted all the i’s.
Since then we have had two further DfE checks, that are part of opening a new free school. The first was in October 2022 and the second was January 2024. Both went smoothly, reports are not published for these as an OFSTED inspection would be.
The school is now ready to welcome an Ofsted inspection from its third year of operation. September 2024.

Performance Information
Whilst we do all statutory evaluations, alongside our teachers day-to-day monitoring and observations, a new school doesn’t have published performance data until Year 6 sats. The school will be participating in all National Data including the Reception Baseline, phonics check at the end of Year 1, multiplication check in Year 4 and Year 6 sats.
Whilst this data builds over the years, we will be sharing other data and results with the Local Governing Board and parent/carers, periodically and would encourage anyone interested to get in touch.
Of course, you can always visit one of our other ETAT schools and check out their results!
