Quotes from OfSTED 2007:

“Portfields provides an outstanding education for its pupils, as it did at the last inspection. High standards have been maintained. This is because of outstanding leadership and management, which mean the school is well placed to maintain and build on its achievements.”

“Pupils’ achievement, personal development and well-being are all outstanding. Excellent provision in the Foundation Stage means that children’s overall standards are above average in all areas by the time they go into Year 1”

“Pupils thoroughly enjoy school and take a pride in their achievements. Their behaviour is excellent and they have very good relationships with staff and each other. They have very positive attitudes to learning and take on responsibilities conscientiously.”

“The very positive outcomes stem from outstanding teaching, very high levels of care, support and guidance, and a wide ranging curriculum that has excellent provision for enrichment.”

“The excellent provision is firmly underpinned by the outstanding leadership and management. Rigorous monitoring of teaching ensures that teachers are given clear guidance to improve their practice and maintain high standards.”

“Achievement is outstanding and pupils’ standards in English, Maths and Science are exceptionally high by the time they leave Year 6. This is because of excellent teaching and very good provision for academic guidance. The latter, in particular, ensures that all pupils make similarly strong progress, regardless of ability, gender or background.”

“The school is innovative and is always looking to see how it can improve further, for example, through its links with other schools and universities. The lack of complacency and the willingness of all to work together to raise standards is a key to the school’s success.”
