After three days of intense Ofsted scrutiny Newbold School was judged to be ‘Outstanding’.
The official result was released by Ofsted this week. The school’s staff and governors have worked tirelessly towards this incredible success with unstinting belief in the quality of what the school has to offer its pupils.
Headteacher Mrs J Crissey commented: “Our passion and dedication was commended many times during the inspection.
"Above all, a respectful and nurturing atmosphere was recognised as being at the heart of Newbold School.
"Our inspector told us that he could feel the supportive environment throughout the visit.”
The children’s excellent behaviour was remarked upon several times during the inspection and in the final report: ‘Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary.
In lessons and at social times, pupils show great levels of self-confidence and respect.’
Forest School lessons are taught weekly in the woods around Newbold College which impressed the inspectors enormously.
