Inspections
As a maintained school and a Church of England School, we are subject to two regular inspections from external providers.
The external inspections provide a useful independent and impartial check on how our school is doing.
Leeds and Broomfield had Ofsted on the 19th October.
The outcome of the inspection is the following:
Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school.
The inspection recognised the many strengths of the school, and in particular the hard work of Mrs Steer and the staff over the last 18 months.
‘Leaders have created a nurturing environment that helps all children flourish.’
The children were praised for their hard work and behaviour.
‘Pupils in this small village school are happy and confident learners’
‘Pupils behave very well in lessons and around school’
Ofsted inspections
Ofsted inspect all schools under Section 5 of the Education Act 2005. Through the inspections, Ofsted seek to provide an independent, external evaluation of schools whilst also identifying what needs to improve in order for provision to be good or better.
Ofsted last visited our school in October 2016.
Our school was rated Good across all areas.
Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)
SIAMS (Section 48) judges the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a Church of England school and aims to help schools improve as church schools.
School governors have a statutory duty to uphold the religious character of the school and to ensure that this element is inspected.
SIAMS inspections are administered by Canterbury Diocese and carried out by nationally accredited and trained inspectors.
Our last SIAMS inspection was in July 2015.
