Hadfield Infant School: Ofsted’s interim assessment 445335

I am pleased to provide some important information about Hadfield Infant School.

Hadfield Infant School: Ofsted’s interim assessment 445335

As you may know, during its last inspection in March 2011, Ofsted inspectors judged your child’s school to be good. Schools that are performing well are now inspected less often than other schools. This usually means that good schools are inspected once in five years, whilst schools that require improvement will normally be inspected within two years of their last inspection.

Some good schools are inspected about three years after their last inspection; others may have their inspections deferred to a later date. In order for Ofsted to decide when the next inspection of a good school should take place, Ofsted will consider and evaluate various sources of information, as listed below. This is called an ‘interim assessment.’

In carrying out the interim assessment, we considered the following:

The results of the interim assessment

I am pleased to inform you that the interim assessment of your child’s school indicates that the school’s performance has been sustained. As a result, the next full inspection will not take place before the summer term 2015. However, should Ofsted receive information that raises significant concerns about the school in the course of the coming year, we may conduct an earlier inspection.
