Ofsted

Holly Park is known as a local authority maintained school and we receive funding through the local authority or directly from the government. 

We follow guidance from the Local authority and the Department for Education. 

The school is inspected by Ofsted. 

We are not influenced by business or religious groups and we follow the national curriculum.

Our last Ofsted inspection was March 2024. This was a section 8 Inspection to see if the school remains a Good School. 

We were visited by a HMI for two days. She undertook several Deep Dives, talked to children, staff, governors and parents and observed playtimes. She looked at children’s books. The inspection included scrutiny of safeguarding, behaviour, Personal Development, Leadership, Curriculum and EYFS.

When Ofsted visit a school they want quick access to the following information:
