Recommended Posts

Copy Of Letter sent to all Parents of both Ifton Heath Primary School and Rhyn Park School on 13th July 2012

Dear Parent/Carer

The Governors of Rhyn Park School and Ifton Heath School are delighted to announce that the leadership of St Martins School from the 1st September 2012 will be as follows:-
  • Mr Nigel Keates, Principal of St Martins School and Head of Secondary Phase.
  • Mrs Nicola Bradley, Head of Primary Phase.

We believe that this will ensure continuity and allow the immediate development of exciting cross phase projects. From the start of the new academic year the pupils will be involved in helping us to plan and develop our new vision, in which we will welcome the support of the whole of the community.

“I believe that we have secured the very best leadership for the children and staff in St Martins School. Both Mr Keates and Mrs Bradley have a considerable amount of combined experience to draw upon. They both have a proven track record of leading change and improvement in their respective schools. They both share a deep concern for and understanding of the local community and together they share an inspiring vision for the future. I am very much looking forward to September, when the whole community will start to see their exciting plans being put into practice.” said Marion Connell, school governor.

Just this month, Ofsted inspected Rhyn Park School and said “this is a good school with a strong family ethos.”

We look forward to working together to present opportunities for us to continue to build and develop this further, encompassing all pupils from the nursery through to the age of sixteen.

Yours faithfully

Mr N Keayes - Mrs N Bradley

OFSTEAD Report

Family ethos supports achievement

Students and staff at Rhyn Park School are delighted following the glowing report by Ofsted Inspectors judging the school to be a ‘good’ school with a strong family ethos.

Ofsted inspectors conducted the two day inspection in June and reported that ‘all groups of students make good progress...because all staff know their needs well and understand how to support them. This is helped by the small class sizes.’

Ofsted reported that ‘teaching was good and that teachers worked hard to successfully engage students in their learning.’

Staff, students and parents felt that the school had taken a firm line with any behaviour which did not meet the high standards expected of all students.

It was reported that leaders and managers modeled best practice and motivated staff and students well.

Ofsted concluded that recent improvements at the school together with the effectiveness of the acting head teacher, indicated a strong capacity for further improvement

Acting Head Teacher Nigel Keates said’ I am delighted that Ofsted have recognised the family ethos at the school which strives to meet the individual needs of all students to ensure every child achieves the very best they can’.
