OFSTED

Ofsted is the national body responsible for inspecting schools and ensuring high standards in education.

We are incredibly proud of our most recent Ofsted inspection, which recognises Park Street as a school where children are happy, safe and supported to flourish.

Inspectors saw a welcoming and inclusive school community, where pupils develop confidence, kindness and respect, and where strong relationships underpin learning. They highlighted the quality of our early years provision, the ambition of our curriculum and the care taken to ensure every child succeeds.

From an excellent start in early years through to the end of Key Stage 2, pupils build knowledge securely and are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond school.

Below are some of the key highlights from our report (May 2026)

SIAMS

All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the Church of England Education Office’s framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005.  The SIAMS Evaluation Schedule sets out the expectations for the conduct of the Statutory Inspection of Anglican, Methodist and ecumenical Schools under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005.

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school’s Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish.

SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school. It does so by seeking to answer seven Inspection Questions (IQs).

IQ1: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?

IQ2: How does the curriculum reflect the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision?

IQ3: How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?

IQ4: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?

IQ5: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?

IQ6: Is the religious education curriculum effective (with reference to the expectations set out in the Church of England’s Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education)?

IQ7: What is the quality of religious education in voluntary aided and former voluntary aided schools, and in former voluntary controlled schools in which denominational religious education is taught?

We are pleased to share that our latest inspection findings indicate that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school, and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.
