Hi all


As you may know, Bessemer Grange Primary School recently had an Ofsted inspection and we are thrilled with the result, which is Good with Outstanding features.


We absolutely love our school and believe that our children benefit greatly from the hard work and dedication of the teachers and management staff. We are lucky enough to have amazing teaching, varied and regular school trips, excellent results and unique facilities ... but don't take our word for it ... here's the report so that you can read it for yourself!

Bessemer has certainly got bigger since my three children attended and there is a new building being created across the road (which was the original nursery/reception) and so 'bulge' classes could be made this way.


Bessemer are also advertising for staff for the 2 year old provision so they will also have to make room for this somewhere.

how do you know it has the space to bulge? Schools need more than just classroom space to bulge successfully, they need hall space to, to accomodate lunches, assemblies and indoor PE, as well as have enough playground space.


What I would like to know is why a massive school (in terms of space, not number of pupils) like St John's and St Clements doesn't have to bulge - I know that it has 3 humungous halls so can easily accomodate more children, but it can refuse to bulge (and does, as far as I can tell), whilst other schools are cramming children into inappropriate spaces.


Congrats to Bessemer!

Yes, congratulations to Bessemer Grange.


I suppose the Ofsted inspectors know what's happening with the school for the future and as there's a lot of building work going on they would have seen for themselves if more classes could be added.


Also Ofsted must be satisfied that there's enough staff for Bessemer to cope with the classes that are already there and enough staff to cope with lunchtime, P.E. and playground time.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
