Hangleton Infants School, Brighton

1 min read Early Years Education Extra-curricular
What did it do? Hangleton Infants School has been working hard to turn itself around since failing its Ofsted inspection in 2000. Now the school is celebrating after being judged outstanding in a recent visit by the same inspector that criticised it 10 years ago.

How is it doing now? Ofsted says: "When children start school their skills and understanding are below levels expected for their age, but national test results for pupils in Year 2 show them to be achieving significantly above levels expected for their age."

Anything else? Ofsted believes the school provides a high level of care for its pupils and a good variety of after-school clubs, and that pupils' personal development and wellbeing are outstanding. It also says staff work hard to give the children a sense of determining their own way forward.

What do the professionals think? Head teacher Emma Lake says: "We are delighted that Ofsted has recognised that an outstanding school is made from supportive parents, fantastic children and a team of dedicated professionals."
