A note from Mrs Hopkinson:
As you know, we were inspected on 24th and 25th June, and I am delighted to share with you our final inspection report, which I have just received for publication. We are delighted and extremely proud of this positive outcome which is a testament to the care and commitment of our staff, the support of our parents and carers, and, of course, a celebration of our wonderful children.
At Burley, we pride ourselves in putting the children at the heart of everything we do. Visitors to the school leave with the strong impression of both the children’s and staff’s enthusiasm, happiness, supportiveness, and kindness and recognise that the children enjoy being at Burley. This was captured in our report with the very first line “A sense of kindness permeates through this school.”
This was a full graded inspection. Two inspectors visited the school over two days and investigated all aspects of provision. It was a rigorous process: the inspection team observed lessons, studied data, met with school leaders, spoke with pupils, staff and governors, and drew on feedback from parents.
We are very pleased with the outcome of our inspection and you will be able to read more about the inspector’s judgements in the published report. We would like to thank every member of the school who are working tirelessly to ensure Burley remains a great place for children to learn. We would also like to thank parents and carers for your ongoing support.
