The latest report by Ofsted on the William Hogarth School in Chiswick has confirmed its overall rating of ‘Good’.
The inspectors, who visited at the end of last term, were particularly impressed with personal development of pupils at the school which they rated as ‘Outstanding’. This measures the wider work done by the school to support pupils’ character development.
The school has now retained its ‘Good’ rating since 2010 and, as well as personal development, it scored highly in quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management and early years provision.
The Headteacher, Avril Stockley, said that she was delighted that the inspectors had recognised the ambition and vision behind the school’s unique Learning 2 Lead curriculum, with the inspection team reporting that it was ‘exceptional … [and] encouraged pupils to have the confidence to do what is right rather than following trends’.
Other key strengths recognised in the report were the range of music offered, the priority given to the well-being of staff, pupils and families, the high expectations of the leadership team and a well-designed curriculum, with careful choices regarding what pupils are expected to learn and remember.
Feedback from staff showed that they appreciated working in a positive environment and the inspectors saw that pupils’ good behaviour contributes well to their learning.
Miss Stockley stated that staff and pupils remain determined in their ambition for the school and its pursuit of excellence. “We plan to build on this success, so that The William Hogarth School is recognised as one of the finest local primary schools.”
The school is holding two upcoming open event dates on Friday 20 October at 9.30am and Monday 20 November at 11am.
