A PRIMARY school continues to receive high praise after being recognised as good in its latest report from the education watchdog.

The headteacher at Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School in Bracknell was praised for her 'leadership' and 'determination' to making improvements after Ofsted inspectors visited the school in May 2019.

Staff at the school were also recognised for maintaining 'good quality of education', making sure they get to know their pupils and get the best from each of them.

The school was previously rated as 'good' in 2015 and appears to be maintaining its status.

Joanna Lagares, headteacher, said: "I am incredibly proud to be a part of such a positive and supportive community and to work with such wonderful children and families."

Wooden Hill Primary School received a 'Good' rating in all five areas of the latest inspection, including effectiveness of leadership, quality of teaching, personal development, behaviour and welfare, outcomes for pupils and early years provision.

However Ofsted inspectors found progress in reading, writing and mathematics for pupils with special educational needs and disability (SEND) needs to be improved and monitored so their achievements match the achievements of their peers from the same starting points.

The report said: "Outcomes for the most able pupils have improved over the past three years but all remain below the national averages." It was noted a revised literacy curriculum was introduced, focusing on the development of skills and using quality texts to model high-quality writing.

In turn, this meant pupils' writing books show an increasing number of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils working securely at higher levels.

Mrs Lagares added: "We are absolutely thrilled that Ofsted have recognised the school continues to be good.

"The staff at the school work incredible hard to ensure that children are provided with a rich variety of learning opportunities and it was fantastic that the inspection acknowledged the school's welcoming and caring ethos."
