Ofsted Visit
The Chief Inspector of the Belgian equivalent of Ofsted visited us this week, to see how his UK counterparts carry out their role. Lieven Viaene was the guest of Bradley Simmons, the Regional Director for the South West Ofsted, and Mrs Veal.
Mrs Veal said: “Our staff and students were extremely proud to host this visit and felt privileged to have been selected. It was incredibly successful and could not have been more positive. Our students were articulate, polite and enthusiastic. We were able to show them and talk to them about how we manage challenges and, despite them, deliver a good provision with great teaching and learning – whilst being caring and supportive.”
