Ofsted survey inspection programme – Economic Well-Being

The visit provided valuable information which will contribute to our national evaluation and reporting. Published reports are likely to list the names of the contributing institutions, but individual institutions will not be identified in the main text without their consent. All feedback letters will be published on the Ofsted website at the end of each half term.

Good Practice Identified

 The school’s egg production and other agricultural enterprises provide very good opportunities for pupils to learn about economic ideas, such as prices and costs. For example, pupils are aware of the link between price and different methods of rearing poultry. Setting up the egg production business involved parental input and support from local businesses and helped pupils develop their technology and numeracy skills.  Good links with a school in Uganda and other curriculum opportunities help pupils develop a good awareness of cultures in other countries.  Visitors to the school and field trips help to introduce pupils to a variety of future employment opportunities. Pupils are appointed to a good range of responsibilities within the school and they take these very seriously.
