GREAT SCHOOLS: Whingate Primary School!

Congratulations to Stuart Myers, headteacher, and his colleagues at Whingate Primary School who have just had their OFSTED Inspection Report published and it's brilliant...

The report is a wonderful celebration of the journey Stuart and his colleagues have been on. The report says...
"This is a good school which makes a positive difference to the lives of its pupils, their families and the local community. Parents and carers rate the school highly and their engagement with the school is excellent. Excellent leadership and management, including governance, drive the school forward and set high expectations for staff and pupils. Pupils make outstanding improvements in their personal development and make good progress academically. From low starting points to the Early Years Foundation Stage, the significant barriers to learning of many pupils are overcome and attainment rises to broadly average by the end of Year 6. This is the result of outstanding care, guidance and support alongside teaching that is good and at times, outstanding. An exciting, and increasingly creative curriculum inspires learners and is enriched by a wide range of activities."

Schools like Whingate Primary School, working at the heart of some diverse and challenging communities, are the real success stories of the Education Leeds years and it is Stuart Myers and his team who should now figure in the Honours lists!
