St. Paul's Swanley Village goes to Good

St Paul's Church of England Primary School in Swanley Village was inspected by Ofsted in May. The report has just been released, and the school's rating has been upgraded from Requires Improvement to Good.

In their report, the inspectors considered the school to be Good in all categories. They considered the quality of teaching and learning to be "much improved since the last inspection." They also complimented the role of the new head of school, Mrs Grasby, who "has acted swiftly to continue the improvements that had already been started."

The school, previously rated as Good, slipped into Requires Improvement in February 2014. It is great news for the school itself, the Swanley Village community and local families that it has delivered significant improvements and that these have been recognised. It is also good to be able to say that now all of the seven primary schools in the Darent Valley Division are rated Good.
