So incredibly proud of Waverley’s journey. A true reflection of the unwavering dedication of our team, who have given so much to our pupils and helped shape the Waverley we are today. So lucky to be apart of it ⭐️

Good to see @ofstednews publishing some analysis on similar schools.

Not just how it is playing out on inspections now but looking backwards to see how the data aligns with inspections undertaken previously when inspectors didn't have this info.

My to do list when starting as principal included:

- announce we were inadequate with serious weaknesses
- inform everyone that we were at risk of closure
- tackle the behaviour of children and conduct of parents
- tackle underperformance

It got messy…

This will be a big loss to Ofsted. Matthew is a fantastic person with so much institutional knowledge.

Carrfield are champions once again, winners of the Barnsley school’s finals in the Pokemon cup and will now move on to the next round at a regional level. Amazing tenacity, teamwork and confidence shown throughout.

What a team!
