From the Heybridge Primary School
The basis for numerous advancements is the robust culture of endeavour that is firmly ingrained in the school's core values.
Since the previous inspection, the instruction has become more GOOD generally.
Outstanding effort is being done by the school to support students' welfare and personal growth.
Almost all parents who responded to Parent View believe their child is content at school. Children have a good attitude about learning.
It's a good school, Heybridge Primary School.
The flaws found at that time have been immediately and successfully addressed.
We would like to publicly thank each and every member of the school community for their commitment to the institution.
This marks the end of two years of arduous labour, tenacity, and faith that we could and would succeed in receiving the official designation of being a GOOD school.
Each and every child, parent, staff member, governor, TKAT, and member of the local and larger Heybridge community should be justly proud of their contributions to securing GOOD. All classes do not have uniformly excellent teaching. The school fails to provide parents with the knowledge necessary for them to participate fully and actively in all facets of their children's education.
We are excited to share with you our plans for strengthening these areas by building on the GOOD practise that is already in place in the coming academic year.
Enjoy reading the report, and if there is anything you would want to comment on, feel free to speak with Miss Simpson or me at the gate in the morning, or schedule a meeting through the school office.
