Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school.

  • ‘James Lee is a very special place’ is a comment made by a parent, and other visitors to the Nursery. Parents, staff and children all have an excellent experience at the Nursery. There are superb relationships between everyone that ensure that each individual is highly valued.
  • Children make outstanding progress in their social relationships and their ability to be completely involved in learning. The majority are learning to speak English as an additional language and they make excellent progress.
  • Children come in excitedly, looking forward to all that they will do because adults have planned superb activities as a result of their excellent knowledge of children’s individual learning and development.
  • Children behave exceptionally well, because they are so absorbed in what they are doing. They play remarkably well together. Parents say their children enjoy making new friends and become very confident.
  • The leaders and managers at all levels are fully involved in gauging how the school is doing, particularly how well the children are making progress in their development. This is fundamental to the accurate and ambitious plans they have for continually improving the school and they are aware that children will benefit from more opportunities to learn in the outside accommodation.
  • The governing body has taken strategic decisions to ensure the continual development of the school by ensuring its financial stability.
  • Parents say ‘this place is amazing’ and they have many opportunities to share in the work of the Nursery and find out more about how their children are learning through open afternoons and coffee mornings with a specific focus.
