Cotham Gardens Primary has been praised by Ofsted for the progress it has made after being placed in special measures.
His Majesty’s Inspector Dale Burr issued a report to headteacher Emmeline Smith and chief executive Chris Seaton after making a monitoring visit in September.
He highlighted improvements in leadership, teaching and learning, curriculum, expectations of behaviour, and support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The school welcomed the monitoring report and the improvements made in national tests in 2025. The school saw a rise of more than ten percentage points in SATS results in Reading, Writing, and Maths.
Mr Seaton said: “This monitoring visit confirms that the new leadership structure and governing body are both determined and ambitious in their plans for excellence at Cotham Gardens Primary.”
