STAFF and pupils at Gawber Primary School are celebrating this week after being rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
At its last inspection in 2013, the school received the highest grading possible - and upon Ofsted’s return in May, they picked up the education watchdog’s top accolade yet again.
The school has a total of 212 on its roll - and it’s been described as an ‘inspirational’ place for children to learn.
The report, which was released earlier this week, states: “This is an inspirational and thriving school - pupils feel safe here.
“Staff are aspirational for pupils’ achievement.
“They nurture pupils from the moment they arrive at the school.
“Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have excellent attitudes to learning.
“They succeed in all areas of the well-designed curriculum.
“Pupils behave exceptionally well.
“The school’s motto - ‘a caring family school’ - encapsulates the values.
“Kindness underpins everything the staff and pupils do.
“Pupils conduct themselves in an exemplary manner - they respect and value their time together.
“Behaviour in lessons is strong without exception.
“This is because staff are experts in modelling the desired behaviours.”
