Celebrations are in order !!
Education Review Officers, Michael Young and Jo Hopkins, really enjoyed visiting us and reviewing our school in totality. The reviewers spent a lot of time reviewing all of the information we sent them, in their ERO, office before visiting us. This was sent both digitally and in paper form over the last term. They spent a lot of time sharing all aspects of our school through the school blog newsletter, wiki learning portal and individual student e-portfolios. Their time at school was spent observing classes, talking to students and the Board of Trustees and observing the depth and breadth of our learning opportunities in action.
Through their observations while at our school, they confirmed all they believed based on our schoolwide infomation sent to them. They very strongly reaffirmed that the direction our school is taking engages students and promotes motivated learners, high achievement and progress is exceptionally effective and should continue.
They were extremely impressed with our motivated engaged students who, they commented, were focussed learners who both knew and could explain their learning, the level they were at and what they were working on to progress (get better). They praised our integrated approach to teaching using real life (authentic contexts) and saw them as highly effective.

'I am looking forward to working on your report over the next week or so.

Thank you again for the support you and your school community gave to the review process.

Could you please also thank the children on our behalf.

They were very open with us and you would have been pleased with the willingness and enthusiasm to share their learning with us.'


All the best to you all,

Michael Young
