literacy
Thank you for your hospitality and cooperation, and that of the staff and pupils during my visit on 26 January 2010 to look at work in literacy.
p.1
literacy
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.

literacy
The evidence used to inform the judgements included: interviews with you and members of your staff; scrutiny of relevant documentation; discussion with a group of pupils; and observation of three part lessons.

Features of good practice
The lessons I observed were of a very high quality. Key features of the lessons included: teachers’ very high expectations of what pupils would achieve; pupils’ very good behaviour; the excellent use of the interactive whiteboard and a range of other resources that captured the interest of pupils, especially boys; and the very strong focus on speaking and listening. There is excellent pastoral support for families and children at all stages of their partnership with the school. Through your excellent leadership and management, you ensure that all staff are determined that no child will be left out or left behind. You provide a wide range of extra curricular activities, at no cost to pupils and families, so that every child has the opportunity to succeed in activities beyond the academic. There were no obvious areas for development.

Features of good practice
As I explained previously, a copy of this letter will be sent to your local authority and will be published on the Ofsted website. It will also be available to the team for your next institutional inspection.
