INSPECTORS have heaped praise on a Bradford primary school, judging it “outstanding” in all areas.

The newly released Ofsted report into Fagley Primary School has seen the school rise from good to outstanding, with inspectors praising everything from pupil behaviour to the “uncompromising vision” of head Chris Parfitt.

The school has over 300 pupils, with a high number coming from minority groups. Since the last inspection in 2012 the school added a provision for two year olds, and this provision was also judged outstanding.

The report says: “As a result of the excellent relationships throughout school, behaviour is impeccable. An exceptional curriculum engages pupils highly effectively. Pupils thoroughly enjoy their learning experiences.

“The headteacher’s uncompromising vision that every pupil in school will make outstanding progress and aspire to be the best they can be pervades the school. As a result, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment has improved rapidly since the last inspection.

“ No stone is left unturned in the quest for pupils’ success and in the care of families.

“The inclusion of everyone is central. Respect, empathy, diversity and equality are at the core of the everyday work of the school.

“ Parents are regular visitors to the school and are involved in training activities so that they can better understand what their children are learning in reading and writing and mathematics. As a result, parents are better equipped to help their children with their learning.”

The report says pupil progress in writing and maths was in the top 10 per cent of schools nationally. It adds: “Despite the prior attainment of this group of pupils being significantly below the national average, attainment in reading, writing and mathematics was above the national average.”

Also praised are the school’s various after school clubs, and a partnership that sees Fagley support other local primary schools.

Mrs Parfitt said: “The report reflects the school ‘just as it is’ with sound statements reflecting the dedication and commitment of school staff and governors who are absolutely marvellous in their exceptional practice to enable every child to succeed and do their very best at school, at home and in the community, now and in the future.”
