Strand Primary Academy awarded ‘good’ Ofsted rating – for the first time in its history

Strand Primary Academy has received a ‘good’ rating following a recent visit by OFSTED – and it’s the first time in history the school has received such a rating.

The school, on Strand Street in Grimsby, received the ‘good’ rating, along with an ‘outstanding’ rating for leadership and management, after the organisation visited last month.

According to the school, OFSTED inspectors noted that the improvement has taken place at a “remarkable pace”, with the curriculum for all year groups having been planned with a “clear structure” and an “ambitious and sequential” nature.

Laura Snow, Head of Academy, commented: “There are so many wonderful elements to the report, and it reflects the exceptional work of the leaders, teachers, children and the whole Strand community.

“We are a small school; many teachers and support staff take on vital roles to ensure children receive a good quality of education. To see their leadership recognised as outstanding is truly wonderful and thoroughly deserved.

“I am honoured to work with such a fantastic, talented team of professionals. I am incredibly proud of all our children, who make the academy the wonderful place it is. Celebrating this success epitomises our motto, ‘together we are stronger’, because together we are a GOOD school!”

Katie Wheeler, Assistant Principal, said: “I am so proud to be part of such a wonderful team and the outcome of the Ofsted report is an enormous reflection on all the hard work that all the staff and pupils have put in to make Strand Primary Academy such a wonderful place to learn and to work.”

Paul Tarn, CEO, also sent his congratulations to Strand Primary Academy.

He said: “Staff have worked extremely hard and are deserving of this recognition. I am delighted to see all their efforts have paid off, and Ofsted have acknowledged their accomplishments.”
