PROTECT – INSPECTION

The Bolsover School Mooracre Lane Bolsover Chesterfield Derbyshire S44 6XA Our reference:112963

p.1

The Bolsover School: Ofsted’s interim assessment

I am pleased to provide some important information about The Bolsover School.

p.1

The Bolsover School: Ofsted’s interim assessment

As you may know, during its last inspection in April 2007, Ofsted inspectors judged your child’s school to be good. Schools which are performing well are now inspected less often than other schools. This usually means that good schools are inspected once in five years, whilst satisfactory schools will be inspected at least once every three years.

p.1

The Bolsover School: Ofsted’s interim assessment

Some good schools are inspected after three years; others may have their inspections put back. To help decide whether we can wait longer than three years before undertaking a full inspection of a good school, such as your child’s, Her Majesty’s Inspectors look at various sources of information, as listed below. This is called an ‘interim assessment.’

p.1

The results of the interim assessment

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

p.1

The results of the interim assessment

 pupils’ academic performance  pupils’ attendance  any visits carried out by Ofsted since the last inspection  complaints about the school by parents or carers  any other significant issues brought to Ofsted’s attention.

p.1

The results of the interim assessment

I am pleased to inform you that our interim assessment shows that the school’s performance has been sustained and that we can defer its next full inspection Aviation House 125 Kingsway London WC2B 6SE T 0300 123 1231 enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk www.ofsted.gov.uk As a result, the next full inspection will not take place any earlier than 1 September 2011 unless we receive information in the course of the coming year that causes us to inspect earlier.

p.1

The results of the interim assessment

I wish everyone involved in the school continued success in the coming year.
