Ofsted Report
Mon 21 Feb 2022I am pleased to share with you the school’s Ofsted report. I am sure you will join us in being very pleased to have achieved a Good grading across all categories in the Inspection Framework; to have it recognised that our safeguarding is effective and that “Leaders have ensured that safeguarding procedures are strong. The inspectors could see we “keep a close eye on pupils and are alert to any concerns.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff, pupils, governors and families who work tirelessly to ensure it is always ‘GREAT’ at The Grange. The Grange Academy is indeed a ‘good’ school and I feel that we all have shared a sustained determination in continuing to strive to provide the very best quality of education.
The report acknowledges that “Pupils enjoy their learning at The Grange Academy.” It is especially rewarding for all teaching staff to have the acknowledgement that “Pupils appreciate the support and help they receive from their teachers.” The Ofsted inspector could see “There are positive relationships between adults and pupils which foster a sense of care. This helps pupils to feel safe.” I am very proud that the children at The Grange “Know what it means to be a good friend.”
The school community certainly has a lot to be proud of. Governors, staff, parents / carers and most importantly the pupils all work hard every day to create something very special here in our school. I thank you for your continued support of The Grange Academy, it is greatly valued and appreciated and we look forward to continuing to support your children in going from strength to strength.

It was an exciting day at The Grange today as we announced the winners of the writing project. The school has been buzzing with Barnabus talk.
Each class teacher, nominated a progress and endeavour award. The Endeavour Award was for those pupils who showed great enthusiasm and ‘gave their all’ to the project. The progress award was given to pupils who made the most progress with a particular aspect of their writing. This could be anything from progress with handwriting, spelling or more technical aspects of writing.
Our progress winners were:
Cherry: Emily
Hazel: Fraser
Pine: Lewis
Rowan: Louie
Birch: Ronnie
Elm: Annie
Cedar: Archie
Sycamore: Ben
Our endeavour winners:
Cherry: Emily

Additionally, the class teacher picked two pieces of writing for the Best Writer competition. Mrs Hopwood was given four pieces of writing, which were anonymized from each year group. She was told to pick the writing that she most enjoyed reading. It was a tough task, as the standard of writing was so high. Today was the big reveal and the winners were announced in assembly.
Best Writers:
Year 3 winner: Sadie
Runner–up Isla
Year 4 winner: Keira
Runner-up: Beau
Year 5 winner: Megan

A big thank you to Mrs Murphy for all her hard work to make this a highlight of the year for The Grange. Another thank you for the amazing displays that we can enjoy for months to come; lots of hardwork by teaching assistants and pupils alike.
