Ofsted Report

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

Ofsted Report

The school was inspected in November 2003. An extract from the summary of the inspection report is included below:

‘The school’s effectiveness is very good. Pupils’ achievement is high. Pupils attain well above average standards because the leadership and management are excellent, the quality of teaching and learning are very good, and pupil’s attitudes to work and their behaviour are of a high standard. The school provides very good value for money.

The school’s main strengths and weaknesses are as follows:
• The leadership and management of the headteacher are outstanding.
• Standards, by the end of Years 2 and 6, are well above average in English, Mathematics, Science and Religious Education.
• All groups of pupils achieve very well throughout the school because of the consistently high standards of teaching.
• Provision for pupils’ personal development is very good, leading to a very positive ethos in the school.
• The curriculum is exciting and promotes high achievement.
• The assessment and recording of pupils’ progress in English, Mathematics and Science is very good.
• There are no significant weaknesses in this very effective school.’

In February 2005 the school was identified in the annual report of Her Majesties Chief Inspector of Schools as being “particularly successful … and extremely effective in providing high quality education and ensuring pupils achieve very well?
