Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. It reports directly to Parliament and is both independent and impartial. By law it must inspect schools with the aim of providing information to parents, to promote improvement and to hold schools to account.
Their role is to make sure that organisations providing education, training and care services in England do so to a high standard for children and pupils. Details on how Ofsted inspects schools and academies can be found here.
The latest Ofsted inspection was in December 2018 and we were judged to be good. View the latest report.
Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about Ormiston Meadows Primary Academy and by sharing your views, you’ll be helping us to improve. The latest Parent View survey shows that 100% of our parents would recommend Ormiston Meadows to other parents.
Parent View asks for your opinion on aspects of your child’s school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. We will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect, and when. A screencast demonstrating how to register and complete a survey on Parent View is available on the How to use Parent View page.
