We are delighted for the staff and students at Sexey’s School are celebrating after it was rated 'Good' in its latest full Ofsted inspection. The positive report raises the school’s education grading to ‘good’ in all five areas of the inspection framework and is the third ‘Good’ report the school has received following their Ofsted Social Care and SIAMS judgement.
Spaxton C of E Primary School and Sexey’s School, both part of the Quantock Education Trust (QET), are celebrating ‘Good’ outcomes in their latest SIAMS inspection reports. SIAMS stands for Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools and is the inspection process for Diocesan Church Schools. It focuses on the impact that the Christian ethos of the church school has on the children and young people who attend it.
Thank you so much to all of our colleagues who attended the first Quantock Education Trust Professional Development Day since the end of the pandemic and since we became a family of four schools. Having colleagues coming together from across the QET to share ideas and experiences, as well as develop our professional practice in a really supportive and collaborative environment gave us the perfect opportunity to bring to life QET’s core CARE values – Community, Aspiration, Respect and Equity. It was a joy to see these values exemplified throughout the day.
This week, Spaxton CofE Primary School were delighted to welcome Archdeacon Simon to their school. They gave him a tour of their school along with Reverend Eleanor and Co-Chair of Governors, Andrew Watson. He enjoyed visiting the classes and the children asked lots of questions about his role as Archdeacon.
One of the Quantock Education Trust's Secondary School Sexey’s School has been given a Bronze award for their work to make sure students don’t miss out on a high quality education because they are young carers.
