Please find attached the Oftsed Report following our inspection on the 26th/27th November (which honestly now feels like 10 years ago!).  

 

I made a point of emailing the Lead Inspector to say how impressed we all were with the content of the report.  In just over a page and half they have managed to describe everything we do and why we do it incredibly well.

 

I know I will always be biased but the language and sentences they have used to describe Markeaton are quite special.  Believe me, I have read a lot of Ofsted reports in the last couple of years and I can honestly say, not many read quite like this.  We have a few little tweaks to make but they are not big mountains to climb and we will action them in the new year.

 

As I said shortly after the inspection, the real stars of the show were the children and we are extremely proud of every single one of them.  Their behaviours, their attitudes towards their learning, their kindness and respect to one another and how they engaged with the inspectors were all celebrated.  I would also like to say thank you to the Markeaton community for the questionnaire responses.  They even took time to read out some of the comments you made and they certainly brought a smile to our faces 🙂

 

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did and once again, a huge well done to everyone and I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
