Nun Monkton Primary School

This year, the school has worked exceptionally hard to develop the school. Over the year, significant changes have been made to our curriulum and the running of school, meaning we continue to be an amazing place to learn and work. The Governors want to highlight the following things which we are proud of from the academic year 2021/22. 

• Successful Ofsted inspection and outcome.  The school remains ‘Good’ with a very positive report.  This is a testament to staff and leaders.
• Data/SATS Results: all data was very positive and reflected the high level of achievements across school. 
• Successfully returning to a ‘normal’ year and still getting the results we did; and providing normality for the school through events like Harvest Festival, productions etc.
• A very successful Feast Day raising much needed funds for the school.
• Increase in numbers on roll which has led to 3 full time classes, all with their own dedicated class teacher.
• A new Headteacher in post who has led the staff through a very positive Ofsted Inspection in November 2021 and ensured throughout COVID-19, the pupils recieved the highest standard of education.
• There is a very positive feel in the village, which does affect the children/staff in the school.
• New teachers/staff are in post with a wealth and breadth of experience.
• New Governors have been appointed and the Board is working well as a team.
• A successful residential for KS2 which children and staff all enjoyed and got a lot from!
• A new shed for the Forest School and children are enjoying outdoor learning.
• Sporting competitions have resumed which has led to children winning medals and trophies.
• Major changes in the curriculum, especially in Maths, have been successful.
• A new Sensory room was developed which is accessible to all children.
• Many systems have moved online – Safeguarding, Assessments, Lunches etc.  This has made the administration of many tasks much easier for staff.
• We are collaborating with other local primary schools.
