STAFF and students at Chilton Trinity School in Bridgwater are celebrating a resounding success in their latest Ofsted report, being declared ‘good’ in all four categories.

Now head teacher Lesley Greenway say they are in hot pursuit of an Ofsted outstanding rating.

Five Ofsted inspectors inspected the school over two days last month and in their just-published report said much of what they saw was “at the cutting edge” and that they were close to outstanding on the quality of teaching.

Mrs Greenway said: “We are delighted at this news and it is nothing less than the staff, students and governors deserve. The whole school community has worked tirelessly since our last inspection to achieve this outstanding performance.

"It has been another amazing year for the school and we are all incredibly proud of our students. This school’s results have risen rapidly over the past three years and inspectors recognised the high standards that we consistently achieve and the positive relationships that exist between staff and students. This school is moving forward fast and making excellent progress.”

She added: “I feel very privileged to be working with such a committed group of staff and students. This report is the result of effective teamwork at every level over a number of years. We are delighted with the overall judgement but will not rest until this school achieves outstanding outcomes for every single student across all subject areas.”
