Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
North Harringay judged ‘good’ by Ofsted - behaviour & leadership judged to be 'outstanding'.
Parents at North Harringay Primary School were today given the school's Ofsted report, following an inspection two weeks ago.
The school was judged to be 'Good' overall. The school was judged to be 'Outstanding' in two (out of the four) criteria - 'behaviour & safety of pupils', and 'leadership & management'.
The key findings included these points:
- Pupils show exemplary attitudes to learning and want to succeed. Their behaviour is excellent both in lessons and around the school.
- The school is exceptionally well led and managed. The inspirational head teacher and her senior leadership team are highly effective in checking and improving the quality of teaching and have the support of all of the staff.
- The governing body is highly effective and challenging the school to improve.
- Standards in English and maths at the end of Year 6 and at the end of Year 6 are improving year on year.
- The quality of the teaching and learning is good. Teachers give pupils very detailed feedback about their work and pupils use this really well to make sure they improve.
- The proportion of pupils making and exceeding the expected rate of progress compares well with schools nationally.
The report will be published on the Ofsted website, in the next few days.

I have just finished reading the report and it is fantastic to see the progression and improvement the schools has gone through over the last few years.
Congratulations to the staff, governors and children at NHP.

There was no category for "Positive Parental Involvement"? That's a shame, you would have aced that too.

Actually Ofsted have changed the way they do things. So while before parents were given a questionnaire to fill in and had a few days to do so, now they can only fill one in online and have less than 24 hours to do so. This change came about in September and it means that the number of responses is now down to just a handful in most of the schools that have been inspected since then. What this effectively means ist that Ofsted no longer takes parents views into account at all when assessing schools. I personally think this is a disgrace.
North Harringay did well to get 36 parent responses to the questionnaire, even though there are 464 pupils at the school. http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/parent-view-results/survey/result/2...
The questionnaire doesn't ask anything about parental involvement at all.

So a parent introduces them to cricket, organises coaching, manages to get a team to Lords for a tournament (more than once!!!) and this does not factor in the report? What a completely crap system.
7% of parents responded (assuming parents have two children at the school). Not accounting for this in the report is extremely poor. I suspect there's a tipping point where parental involvement can really, really turn a school around. I know the head is important but if one parent is organising extra cirricular events for ten kids then this is important and surely should be measured too?

Don't forget that most pupils have 2 parents! So even if it were the case that they have on average 2 children at the school (I suspect it's less than this because they may have older or younger children who are at secondary or not yet at school, as well as those families with just one child) then it's likely to be less than 7%.

Congratulations all! Come back, David Lammy, this beats Highgate any day. And if Class 6 work a bit harder on their singing your lad won't need any choral scholarship to Peterboro'.
