fairlawn - ofsted

[newtose22]

Hello, we are currently looking at schools for next year and we liked the look of fair lawn. I've heard they have recently been OFSTED'ed but nothing on their, or OFSTED, website. Does anyone have any idea how it went?

takes about 6 weeks before it goes online; only current staff will have a general clue

[newtose22]

Okay, thanks. I'll keep a look out

[kam1]

[alice]

[HannahSE23]

Parents were sent home the report today and yes, outstanding again

[newtose22]

Great news and our nearest school so fingers crossed for next September.

You can read the ofsted report. It is now on the Fairlawn school website

It was outstanding yes, and in EVERY criteria. That is really hard to do with the revised standards set by ofsted, so huge congratulations to all the staff and governors for looking after and teaching our children so well!

NewtoSE22 - good luck with the school intake process. By your username it sounds like you're on the 'other side' of the council border, so I hope you get in. Last year was a 'bulge' which will probably mean a high proportion of siblings next year (and probably no bulge as there is absolutely no space!) Its a shame that such a brilliant school doesn't have more space to take in more of the community. There is a thread running on SE23.com about an ex-nursing home that Lewisham want to turn into temporary accommodation for homeless families too - which may further impact local school places, and many think it would be better to use that space to provide more school space/extend Fairlawn.

If anyone is a local resident to the school, and hasn't already responded to the council's consultation on this proposal, please do so (I don't want to hijack this thread though so will leave this here!)
