Leadership and management was found to be inadequate
A school rated outstanding in one area and good in three others has been graded inadequate overall after Ofsted inspectors found safeguarding problems. St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School in Kettering said the assessment was not a "fair judgement" and the regulator will return shortly to reinspect it after it visited in January.
It said leaders “did not fully understand, or follow, their legal duties in relation to exclusions and suspensions” and had used suspension “unlawfully”. They were found to have been “too often careless in their approach to safeguarding pupils" who might have been at risk of harm. But they also found they had ensured learning to read was a “priority”, that pupils developed a love of reading and that other programmes at the Grafton Street school were “well planned and sequenced”.
Ben Arnell, the school’s headteacher, said of the inadequate rating: “Ultimately, we do not think this a fair judgement of our school and we do not feel that it in any way reflects our brilliant children and our school community. Just as an example, in the Ofsted parent survey, 100% of parents told them that their child was happy and 98% said they felt that their child was safe in our school.
