Who are Ofsted and what do they do?
Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They report directly to Parliament and are independent and impartial. They inspect and regulate services which care for children and young people, and those providing education and skills for learners of all ages.
Last inspected in September 2016 Ofsted judged Nythe Primary and Nursery School to be a ‘Good’ school.
“Teachers plan activities which motivate all pupils and give them opportunities to extend their learning. They have good subject knowledge, particularly in mathematics and English.”
