Cavalry Primary School in March rated ‘good’ by Ofsted

A primary school is celebrating after receiving a good Ofsted.

Cavalry Primary School was rated ‘Good’ in all areas during a two-day Inspection in June.

The inspectors found that it was a warm and friendly school where pupils have strong relationships with their peers and the adults.

The inspectors also commented that pupils were happy, wanted to do well at school, and displayed a ‘have-a-go’ attitude when it came to their learning. Pupils know that staff want them to achieve as well as they can, and they respond well to encouragement.

Further comments from the inspectors include that pupils “are encouraged to develop their talents and interests” as they shared their experiences and extra-curricular opportunities including performing at The Royal Opera House, playing instruments in the school band, singing in the choir and attending a wide range of sporting competitions.

Inspectors noticed “pupils’ high-quality artwork is displayed proudly around the school”.

Sarah Edwards, acting head teacher, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that the hard work of our pupils, staff, and wider community has been recognised.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all involved for their dedication and investment in our wonderful school.”
