Inspectors who visited Essa Primary have praised the school, rating it as a good school with outstanding early years provision.

Inspectors visited the school on Lever Edge Lane last month and said:

‘This is a happy and caring school. Pupils behave well. They listen attentively during lessons and they follow teachers’ instructions carefully. No time is wasted in class.’

‘Pupils enjoy school. They are polite, and they respect the differences between themselves and their peers.’

Pupils also told inspectors that they feel safe and they were proud to share with inspectors what they learn at school.

Inspectors reserved their strongest praise for the school’s early years provision , which they judged as outstanding:

‘Children get off to a flying start in Reception. Teachers in the early years have created classrooms brimming with exciting learning activities.’

Inspectors also praised the leadership of Principal Jo Atherton and her team who they said ‘have worked tirelessly to develop the school.’

Principal Jo Atherton said: ‘We are pleased the inspectors recognised the improvements that have taken place at Essa Primary and delighted they judged that we are a good school with outstanding features.’

Andrew Cooper, Chief Executive of Essa Foundation Academies Trust, which runs the school said: ‘I’ve witnessed a massive transformation at Essa in the three and a half years I’ve been here. This very positive inspection report represents a big team effort and underlines our commitment that all will succeed.’

We are holding an open day on 11^th December 9:30am-4:30pm for potential Reception parents for September 2020. Please come along.
