Ofsted praises our ‘ambitious’ school
We are delighted to be able to share the news with you that following our recent Ofsted inspection, Harbour Vale School has now been rated as ‘Good’ in all areas.
The inspectors said “relationships with staff, built on trust and respect, help pupils to gain the confidence, resilience and independence to succeed socially and emotionally.” The report goes on to say “A new ambitious curriculum has raised expectations of what pupils can achieve academically” and “staff consistently set high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and outcomes.”
The school’s extra-curricular opportunities were also highlighted with the inspectors saying “Pupils enjoy participating in a wide range of enrichment activities. For example, pupils make pottery, learn to sail and carry out ‘random acts of kindness’ in the local community. These experiences help pupils to understand their place in society and successfully work as part of a team”.
It is very humbling to read a report that acknowledges the great work that we do and captures our vision and ethos so well. I am incredibly proud of Harbour Vale School, our fantastic students and every member of our wonderful staff who work tirelessly, going above and beyond every day to make our students’ time with us successful, and Harbour Vale a safe and positive place to be.
