London has 34 reasons to celebrate

Sir John Cass Receives “Outstanding” Ofsted Report

The children of Sir John Cass’s Foundation Primary School have given the City something to smile about. It has been awarded the top grade – outstanding – in every single one of the 34 criteria in its recent Ofsted award, an incredible achievement.

The School is located in the heart of the City near Aldgate and is the only maintained school in the City of London. It is a voluntary aided school, managed by the Governors of the School. The City of London Corporation supports the school as its local authority.

The Inspectors said in their report: ‘Every child, their future as adults and their family really matters in this outstanding school. It gives children a ‘flying start’ in their personal, social and emotional development.’

The report praised the ‘highly respected’ leadership team and staff and said they focus on each individual child’s needs. It also said ‘Exceptional teamwork between staff, governors, parents, children, and community workers is also central to each child’s success.’

Gerard Loughran, Headteacher of the school said: ‘We are delighted with the excellent report from Ofsted. Everyone at Sir John Cass’s Foundation Primary School and Cass Child and Family Centre works hard to ensure that the children are safe, happy and achieve according to their abilities.’

Alderman Robert Hall, Chairman of the Governors said: ‘This truly remarkable Ofsted report is a testament to the hard work and commitment of staff, children and parents at Sir John Cass’s Foundation Primary school and Cass Child and Family Centre who consistently work together to ensure the school and Centre maintains the high standards they achieve.’
