A SCHOOL in Blackfen is celebrating after receiving a ‘good’ Ofsted report.
Blackfen School for Girls in Blackfen Road, was inspected at the end of last year and ranked as ‘good’, improving on its ‘satisfactory’ rating three years ago.
In his report, head inspector Adrian Lyons wrote: “This is a good school. It combines a caring ethos with academic success.”
The report noted a strong record of improvement, good behaviour and said the majority of teaching was good or better. Safeguarding and governance were rated outstanding.
Head teacher Matthew Brown said: “We are proud of the work which we do at Blackfen which has been rightly acknowledged by Ofsted. The school is a great place to be for students and for staff. Ofsted have recognised the excellent work which goes on at the school to improve young peoples’ lives and levels of achievement.”
