Ofsted report 20-21 March 2018.

We are very pleased that our school has been judged as being “Good” in all areas of the Ofsted framework.

Our staff and governors have worked extremely hard during the last two years to meet the recommendations made in the previous Ofsted report.  We are particularly proud that we have achieved this without losing focus on what matters to us most of all – the emotional well-being of the children and the provision of a broad, exciting and stimulating curriculum that motivates them as learners.  This will always be more important to us than a relentless focus on targets and data.

Ofsted report for Consett Infant School

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our Christmas craft afternoons.  Everyone seemed to have an amazing afternoon making memories as well as Christmas crafts.  Below are a selection of photos from the day and some quotes from those who attended taken from the evaluation forms.

“Well done everyone involved in helping/organising the day.  My son enjoyed it and I loved seeing how he interacts with others in school.”
