Todmorden CofE Junior, Infant and Nursery School has received three “strong standard” judgements in a new Ofsted report.

 Inspectors rated attendance and behaviour, early years, and personal development and wellbeing at that level. Achievement, curriculum and teaching, inclusion, and leadership and governance met the expected standard. Safeguarding standards were also met.

 The report, published on 9 November after an inspection on 13 and 14 October, praises the school’s work with families to encourage regular attendance. It says attendance is well above the national average, including among disadvantaged pupils and children with special educational needs or disabilities.

 Inspectors also highlight nurturing relationships in early years and opportunities for pupils to take part in visits, clubs and leadership roles. Children learn about local waterway and flood safety.

 The report identifies further work on spoken language, embedding improvements in writing and helping pupils deepen their knowledge with more pupils reaching the highest standards.
