‘OUTSTANDING’ OFSTED MARCH 2015 The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Moseley C of E Primary as a Church of England school are outstanding • The school’s outstanding Christian ethos creates an environment where pupils are nurtured as children of God and enabled to develop personally, academically and spiritually. • Religious Education has a high profile, is very well planned and taught and effectively develops children’s understanding of Christianity and other faith traditions. • The excellent relationship between the school and the church has a very positive impact on pupils’ spiritual development and encourages children and their families to become involved in the wider Christian community. SIAMS March 2014 ● All pupils make excellent progress regardless of their background. ● A consistent focus on improving teaching and achievement by all leaders, including the governing body, has raised both to be outstanding since the previous inspection. ● Standards are high and continue to rise. The majority of pupils achieve above the level expected for their age by the time they leave.
● Children get off to a strong start in the Reception class, and build a firm foundation for their great success when they are older. ● Pupils’ exceptionally positive attitudes to learning, strong working relationships and excellent behaviour all contribute to their outstanding progress, as do their high attendance levels. ● Pupils respond extremely well to teachers’ very high expectations of their work and behaviour. They persevere in the face of difficulties and take a pride in their accomplishments. OFSTED March 2015

PARENTS IN PARTNERSHIP Parents’ support and expertise can be used in many ways and is greatly valued and appreciated. Other family members such as Grandparents are also very welcome. At the start of the day, many join us for Reading time and enjoy reading with a small group of children. We also encourage parents to volunteer for educational visits where the help is much appreciated! All volunteers working in school are required to have a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check and therefore these will be conducted on parents who can help in school on at least 3 occasions per month. Advice regarding this can be obtained from either office. We welcome parents and carers into Moseley C of E Primary School believing we are partners in the education of your children. There are many opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the school and to gain a greater understanding of its work.
The PTA exists to support the life and work of the school and is open to all members of the school community. Members of the PTA work extremely hard organising many social events for parents and children, involving the wider local community. These include the bonfire, Christmas Fayre, Summer Ball, Promises Auction and Summer Fayre. Money raised provides extra facilities and equipment for all children. Over the last few years the PTA have helped fund a new Media suite and visualisers in each class. We look forward to your support to the work of the PTA.
