Dear Parents and Carers
On behalf of the Board of Governors we commend this OFSTED report to you, and would like to congratulate every member of the Fellside team in their outstanding achievement. Such inspections shine a spotlight on the entire team and highlight a snap shot in time of a team who continuously strive to give their very best for our children, each and every day.
The outcome of the inspection is of no surprise to the Governing Body who are acutely aware of the strong and purposeful leadership of Mr Doran in transforming vision into action, together with superb teaching and learning delivered by all staff, which makes Fellside a truly exceptional environment.
This achievement is a result of the professionalism of everyone within the Fellside team, all of whom have contributed significantly to the development of our school. I am certain you will agree with me when I say that the professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm of all staff at Fellside make our school a truly unique and inspirational environment in which our children can, and do, flourish.
Furthermore, this report recognises the efforts of all partners within the Fellside community; staff, parents, carers, Friends of Fellside, Governors and supporters within the local community, who together have assisted in achieving our vision of “providing an inspiring and caring environment in which we are all challenged to maximise our potential”. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the continuing support that you give to Fellside and look forward to your ongoing support as we strive to maintain these exceptional standards and further develop both the learning environment and curriculum.
Together we really are making a difference.
John Baines
Chairman
Fellside Community Primary School
Dear Parent/Carer,
So from what you’ve just read, it looks like we’re doing OK!
Naturally we are delighted with this report. What shines out, is that the success we currently enjoy is a result of the entire school community’s efforts – the children, all staff, governors and the parents and families of our children.
We can all allow ourselves a brief moment of pride in our achievements…before resuming our programme of further improvement.
All your questionnaire responses to Rosemary Rodger, the inspector, of course remained entirely confidential. She did however share with me that a number of parents had indicated a sense of privilege they felt at having a child at Fellside. Thankyou.
Equally may I take this opportunity to express to you the huge privilege it is for me to work with your delightful children, professional and dedicated staff, a ‘switched-on’ governing body, and supportive caring parents. Every element of this school is committed to the best possible education for the children of this community.
Many thanks,
Kevin Doran
