• French over the Easter break

  Fri 31 Mar 2017 S.Mahvelati

  Opportunities to practise French over the holidays

  Are you lucky enough to be travelling to France over the Easter break? If you happen to catch your children using their French skills while in France, please send in photos/short videos so we can celebrate this with their class. Children may also wish to bring something from France to show and tell.

  Also, please remember that there are hours of engaging and motivating French resources available to the children on the school website. It's a great way to practise the language skills when children have a little spare time: French website

• Ofsted recognises 'Outstanding' Fielding

  Thu 30 Mar 2017

  Ofsted inspectors have judged Fielding as ‘outstanding’ in every aspect of the school’s work during our latest inspection in February 2017:

  • Overall effectiveness: Outstanding
  • Effectiveness of leadership and management: Outstanding
  • Quality of teaching, learning and assessment: Outstanding
  • Personal development, behaviour and welfare: Outstanding
  • Outcomes for pupils: Outstanding
  • Early years provision: Outstanding

  The school has improved from its ‘good’ judgement in all areas at the previous inspection in July 2012.

  Fielding is the first primary school in Ealing to achieve an ‘outstanding’ judgement under the current inspection framework, introduced in September 2015. Education commentators generally consider this framework to have the highest expectations on schools yet with ‘hard won’ outstanding judgements. Nationally, 3% of 1,097 primary schools between September and December 2016 inspected by Ofsted were judged as ‘outstanding’.

  The Governing Body, school leaders and staff are delighted that the Ofsted team recognised the very high quality of our work across the school to provide the very best outcomes and start in life for all of our pupils.

  Every member of staff contributed to the judgements through their work. A very rigorous inspection took place over 2 days and included lesson observations, scrutiny of pupils’ work in books, analysis of assessment information, parents’ views and interviews with groups of pupils, governors, staff and school leaders. Every aspect of the school’s work was thoroughly tested and evaluated by lead inspector, Amanda Carter-Fraser (Her Majesty’s Inspector), and a team of education professionals, most of whom are serving London Head teachers who also work for Ofsted as inspectors.

  Whilst delighted with the outcome of this inspection, we recognise that pupils, staff, government policy and education research findings continue to change over time. We will continue to evaluate the impact of our work and strive to give our pupils the very best education that we can.

  For now, we would like to thank parents for their continued support and we hope that pupils and parents will share in celebrating the success of the school.

  This afternoon, pupils from Orion constellation came together to celebrate their success this term for collecting the most stars, demonstrating exceptional behaviour and values. Pupils were split into four groups, based on their class letter (H, F, P or S), and they enjoyed four different sport or art based zones. Star Leaders were in charge of the zones, which included; origami, chalk and water art, climbing frames and bench ball. As an additional treat, they also enjoyed biscuits and a selection of refreshing drinks. The sunshine was an added bonus and aided the success of the afternoon. Well done Orion!
