Ofsted Report

Outstanding Ofsted for Orrets!

 

Orrets Meadow continues to be an Outstanding school with no ways forward. The inspection took place in March 2024 and the report states,

“Pupils value being a member of this exceptional school community because they feel part of the ‘Orrets Meadow family’. They speak highly of the support and kindness they receive from the committed staff team. Pupils are happy and appreciate the time taken by staff to get to know and understand them as unique individuals.

 

The school is a calm oasis for pupils. A warm welcome from staff in the morning and staff’s establishment of clear routines ensure that pupils are ready for the day. If needed, pupils are provided with brief support from well-trained, expert staff. This helps them to make a positive start to the day. They thrive on the close relationships they form with others and settle swiftly into school life. Staff manage behaviour in a remarkably uniform way.

 

Pupils thrive at Orrets Meadow. The school has soaring expectations for pupils’ achievement. There is an unrelenting ambition from everyone in school for the pupils in their care. From their individual starting points, pupils make exceptional strides in their learning. Staff skilfully prepare pupils for the next stage in their education.

 

The school’s curriculum is expertly crafted. It is designed to ensure that pupils gain the knowledge and skills that they need to be successful in their future. The school uses its comprehensive knowledge of pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to ensure that pupils receive an exceptional quality of education.”

 

To achieve Outstanding in all areas, with the rigorous new framework, is a huge achievement. Mrs Duncan, Head Teacher said, “I am so proud of the whole Orrets Meadow family. We showed Ofsted what we do day in, day out and what we achieve with the pupils from their baselines in terms of academic, social and emotional development is outstanding. The strength of Orrets is how we work together as a team, be that the teachers, TAs, parents, pupils, Governors and other staff, we support and look after each other. I am so pleased for the team, that all our hard work has been officially recognised.”
