Southfield School Ofsted Inspection outcome
The school was inspected by Ofsted 25-26 February this year. This was a short Section 8 inspection to determine if the school has remained ‘Good’ since the last full inspection in February 2016.
Despite the difficult circumstances currently, we are pleased to publish the outcome of the inspection. The nature of the inspection meant there were four possible results. We achieved the best possible outcome. The school remains at least good but there is evidence that the school may be judged outstanding if we received a full Section 5 inspection.
This clearly demonstrates the progress the school has made in recent years and the positive ethos across our school community.
We continue to be immensely proud of our staff and students and thank all members of our school community for the part they have played in achieving this outcome. We will continue to work with the same spirit for all of our students. We expect the school to receive a full inspection in the next two years.
