Ofsted inspectors visited Erpingham School on 27th and 28th February 2014 and liked what they saw. Head teacher Simon East says ‘We were very pleased that the inspection recognised many of our unique qualities and strengths. We are delighted that good progress towards our eventual aims is highlighted in the report as we move towards being an outstanding school’.
Ofsted February 2014. This is a good school.
- The headteacher has developed a strong, committed and effective team of staff and governors. Frequent checks on teaching and good training opportunities are used effectively to improve the quality of teaching and achievement.
- Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. The ‘flexi-school’ timetable, used to allow individual pupils to be partly home educated, works very well.
- Teaching is good and sometimes outstanding. Activities are interesting and carefully planned to help each pupil build on their learning and progress well.
- Pupils behave well and feel safe in class and around the school.
- The development of a successful ‘leadership partnership’ with two other local schools has enabled the headteacher to closely monitor how well the school is performing.
- Excellent relationships exist between the school and parents. Many parents volunteer to provide pupils with wide ranging experiences in music, art and drama. This contributes to pupils’ strong spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- Pupils new to the school receive good support; they settle quickly and make good progress during their time in school.
