OFSTED Inspection letter to children – Sept 07

 Dear Bankside children,

 Mr Allen, Mrs Gowers, Mrs Hicks and I really enjoyed our recent visit to your school. Thank you very much for your very warm welcome and for looking after us so well. You were very helpful in lessons when we asked you to explain what you were doing and also very friendly around school. Particular thanks should go to members of the school council who helped us to understand why it is that you enjoy your school so much.

We do not think you will be surprised to hear that we think Bankside Primary School is a good school. This is because it cares for you well, helps you to make good progress in your work andenables you to enjoy yourselves very much. We particularly liked your ‘wake-up, shake-up’ activities and were impressed at the wide range of work that you do so well.

One of our jobs is to try to look for things which will make your school even better and help you more with your work. We think it would be helpful to you if your teachers gave you more opportunities to use your computer skills. We also know that some boys and girls find learning easier than others and we think it would be helpful if your teachers bear that in mind when they are planning their lessons for you, and try not to ask you all to do the same work. So we have asked Ms Rutty and your teachers to see if they can improve those two areas of your work in school.

We send you all our best wishes for the future. We hope you continue to enjoy your learning as much as you do at the moment.

 Yours truly,

 The OFSTED team
