A PRIMARY school has been told it remains a ‘good school’ by Ofsted inspectors.
Lacewood Primary at Bolton-upon-Dearne has been visited by Ofsted inspectors for the first time since it was rated good at its last full inspection in November 2014.
Following a ‘short inspection’ last month, inspectors said the head teacher and leadership team have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection.
“Lacewood Primary School is a school where pupils are safe and feel safe,” said the report.
“Pupils and parents report that bullying is very rare and behaviour is good.
“Parents feel well informed about how well their child is doing and say that when their child struggles they are well supported.
“Parents are especially positive about how approachable staff are. They believe that when they raise a concern, it is dealt with and resolved quickly.”
The report said action had been taken to address areas for improvement identified at the last inspection.
This centred on improving the quality of teaching in some areas, specifically in asking that teachers challenge pupils more regularly and set work that pushed them further.
“Inspectors also recommended that teachers were clearer when advising pupils about how to make improvements in their work. In this regard, the school has made improvements.”
