That's excellent news. Was any reason given?

They just had a full OFSTED inspection, and they reported it "is providing a suitable education for all pupils, as befits a mainstream primary school"

Brilliant news!

I am so pleased for you. It also shows the value of visiting a school and meeting the head rather than just taking what you hear as you had already done. Clearly the head is doing a good job.

I'm really pleased to read this.

I hope that this reflects a change in the inspection process that recognises the specialist work the school has done, rather than the school abandoning said work in order to get a good report.

So am I. Well done to everyone associated with the school.

Is this breaking news though? I can't see anything on the Ofsted site yet.

The inspection was only done this week. Letters went out to parents yesterday, and a special assembly this morning.
