Where can I go to get support to help keep my child safe online?

You can find a wide range of useful links, resources and information to support our families over the following weeks. These can be found by clicking here and by clicking on your child's year group.

Please find on the link below our Ofsted report from the inspection carried out on 15th and 16th January 2020.

We are absolutely delighted with the content and outcome of the Ofsted report and that Fordbridge Community Primary School continues to be a good school with an outstanding Early Years.

 

Ofsted Report - Jan 2020

 

As you will read in the report, the Ofsted Inspector saw huge amounts of evidence that shows the whole school staff work with great ambition and continually have high expectations of pupils. This leads to a school where everyone works together very well to make the school a happy and successful place in which to work and learn.

 

The Ofsted report is available on our website and will be published on the Ofsted website on the 13th February.

 

Thank you to the parents/carers who filled in the Ofsted questionnaire during the inspection and those who took the time to speak directly to the Inspector

 

Thank you for your continued support which is greatly appreciated.
