DASHWOOD SCHOOL

 

The Past, The Present and The Future

 

 

Dashwood School moved into a beautiful new building in July 2008

 

This was a very exciting time for all involved, but with a tinge of sadness for all of the memories the beautiful old building held

within its walls.

Congratulations to Dawn Cothier and her

team who run the Out of School Club.

An unannounced visit from Ofsted has found

the club to be 'Good' and on the borderline

of being 'Outstanding'.

This is a real achievement and testamnet to

the thought and care that Dawn puts into our out of school provision. The full report

will soon appear on the Ofsted website and copies are now availble from Dawn

 

 

 

RED NOSE DAY COLLECTION

The children raised over £125.00 for Red Nose day by wearing their clothes back to front. Well done.

wonderful photos of the children and staff

You will be delighted to hear that our latest monitoring visit from HMI this week was a real success.  
The school's progress in four out of the 5 'key issues' (identified when the school went into Special Measures in November 2007) has been rated as 'good'.  This means leadership and management (at all levels in the school), the quality of teaching, pupil's attitudes and behaviour are now 'good' (in November they were rated 'satisfactory'); Health and Safety has maintained its 'good' rating and pupils' standards and achievements have moved from' inadequate' to 'satisfactory' which is particularly pleasing.  
We were especially pleased that the quality of teaching was praised and that our pupils are showing increased pride in their school and have the confidence to speak out about how we can continue to improve things for them. These are the main headlines from the visit; the full report will be available very soon on our website.
Overall, we feel that we are moving in the right direction towards our aspiration of becoming an 'outstanding' school'
