Former 'Outstanding' Telford school reacts as Ofsted downgrades it

A Telford school formerly rated as 'Outstanding' says it is "under no illusions" it has a long way to go to make improvements after being downgraded by Ofsted.On September 23, inspectors from the educational watchdog visited Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge Church of England Primary School in Telford.

Inspectors said that in recent years, governors at Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge had"not supported leaders well enough" and that the governors were"too focused on day-to-day activities and not maintaining a strategic oversight of the school". The Ofsted inspectors also found that pupils felt"happy and safe" and that they"generally behave well" and were"proud of their school" and that they"relish the many roles and responsibilities they take on, such as bullying ambassadors, play monitors and value ambassadors".

Headteacher, Mrs Mandy Dhaliwal, said the school was under"no illusions" that it still had a"long way to go".
