Outstanding Ofsted report for Glenesk School

The Staff at Glenesk School in East Horsley, Surrey is celebrating after being recognised as an ‘Outstanding Independent School’, following their Ofsted reports in June and July 2008. Glenesk has been added to the outstanding providers list published by Ofsted and will be attending a special event to celebrate their achievement.

All aspects of the quality and standards in Glenesk’s nursery were found to be ‘outstanding’ and Glenesk School was found to ‘provide a curriculum that is well matched to the pupils’ needs’ and staff were found to ‘work hard to give pupils the opportunity to achieve their best. Strong relationships between staff, pupils and their families are a significant feature of the school.’

‘Parents and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the pupils are very happy. Both Leadership and Management are outstanding and provision for the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development as well as their welfare, health and safety are also outstanding.’

Headmistress, Mrs Sue Christie-Hall, commented:
‘I am delighted that our Ofsted report confirms our aim to create a secure, purposeful and caring school, which provides an exciting environment for today’s children.’ The report goes on to state that ‘the children are making excellent progress through the early learning goals and are eager to learn and show high self-esteem and confidence within their classes.’

Glenesk is holding its next Open Morning on Thursday, 12th February 2009 – the Headmistress, Mrs Sue Christie-Hall will give a tour of the school at 10am. Individual appointments with the Headmistress are also available and all visitors are most welcome.
