Congratulations to Great Clacton C of E Junior School, which has received a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted after an inspection on the 2nd and 3rd of March.
The school’s report praised how friendly pupils are to everyone and how “pupils see the differences that pupils have as a strength of the school”.
The inspector also commented on how leaders were “determined for all pupils to succeed” and “are adapting the curriculum and how it is delivered so that pupils achieve highly.”
The report also made special note that “pupils have chances to widen their experiences” through residential trips and can choose to become community ambassadors and raise money for local charities.
Karen Jones, Executive Head at Great Clacton C of E Junior Schools, said “I am delighted with the report and very proud of our school community for this outcome.
“It is a very strong report which has really captured the ethos and values that our school has. We pride ourselves on how we educate our children for their future lives, focusing not just on great outcomes academically but also how to live our values through all that they do.
“Particular highlights of the report mention our well-thought-out approach to behaviour management, our effective SEND support and how our pupils are safe, happy and successful.
“We have an amazing staff team who I would like to thank for everything that they do. I would also like to thank our wonderful children not only for their confidence when meeting with the inspector, but also for showing what life is like for children at our school and really letting their light shine.”
Emma Wigmore, our CEO, said “We are so proud of both the staff and children at Great Clacton for creating a wonderful atmosphere at the school.
“I particularly loved the section of Ofsted’s report that talked about the kindness pupils show to one another. As a Trust, one of our core values is ‘celebrating uniqueness’, which I feel Great Clacton pupils demonstrate perfectly.”
