Heber- Oftsed

[DulwichEastMum]

I have been reading a lot about Heber primary school. As we are looking to buy a house in Dulwich , I checked the Ofsted report for Heber ... it says it requires some improvement!

Am I looking at the wrong Heber school??

The Section 8 report from November details what improvements have been made.

Ofsted is only one way of judgng a school, and can give a completely different picture from what parents say about their child's experience and progress. The page for Heber on the Dept of Education website shows that achievement in the school is above the national average and above the average for the LA. Also that the high attainers do well and meet expected targets. Though it is notable that no children on FSM achived level 5 SATS and that middle and low attainers do less well, relatively, than high attainers.

My children are not at Heber, but I am sure some who are will be along soon.
