Further to the Ofsted inspection of the school which took place on the 26th & 27th June - I am delighted to now be able to share the judgement with you.

The school has been judged to be a good school which is excellent news and a sound basis from which to continue our improvement journey.

The team of three inspectors that visited our School carried out their inspection over the two days, which included deep dives into various subjects, lesson visits, discussions with staff/pupils, meetings with school leaders and scrutiny of work undertaken by children. They met with the headteacher, deputy headteacher, members of the governing body and Trust, spoke with parents, and reviewed documentation provided by the school. More of what inspectors looked at can be found within the official report.

The last time Hawthorn was judged to be a good school was in back in 2009 – 15 years ago.

As you will see from the report, Ofsted have rated Hawthorn Primary School as ‘Good’ in every area and for its overall effectiveness as a school.
