Springfield Primary School in Kempston had a very important visitor this week to help pupils and staff celebrate the school’s latest Ofsted report.
Bedford and Kempston MP, Mohammad Yasin visited the school to personally congratulate the team on their ‘Good’ in all areas rating.
The academy, which is part of Chiltern Learning Trust, was rated ‘Good’ across all five key areas within Ofsted’s framework – the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision.
To celebrate, pupils and their parents enjoyed an afternoon of activities including a visit from their local MP who helped to unveil a congratulatory Ofsted banner created by the school.
The celebrations carried on with cakes, balloons and songs performed by a group of pupils.
Claire Andrews, Headteacher at Springfield Primary School, said: “Though I am honoured to lead a team that has worked to achieve the success of Good in all areas from our Ofsted in June 2022, the greatest privilege is being able to achieve this for the children of Kempston and Springfield Primary School.”
Cllr Carl Meader, Deputy Leader of Kempston Town Council, sent this message to the school: “Congratulations to all staff and pupils on their latest Ofsted report. I recognise the hard work that goes into an Ofsted visit so you should all be proud of your achievement.”
Reflecting on the report and the visit, Adrian Rogers, CEO of Chiltern Learning Trust, said: “Springfield Primary School is one of the most recent schools to join the Chiltern Learning Trust and we are tremendously proud to have them as part of our family.
“This report is a testament to the dedication of the school’s senior leaders, teachers, pupils, parents, carers and everyone else connected with this fantastic school. I would like to congratulate all for their ongoing hard work and enthusiasm.”
