STAFF and students at Wimborne’s Queen Elizabeth’s School are celebrating after Ofsted judged that the school continues to be ‘Good’

Ofsted inspectors visited the school last month to see if its previous 'Good' rating could be upheld.

The verdict was that the quality of education, the school’s clear determination to improve and its strong sense of community meant QE was maintaining the high standards previously set.

Headteacher Martin McLeman said: “We are delighted that Ofsted has said we are still a good school. We are proud that the inspectors recognised how ambitious we are for all our pupils.

"Our staff are determined that their teaching and pupils’ attainment continue to improve and I am pleased that Ofsted has recognised their hard work.

"We are also very pleased that the positive learning environment we pride ourselves in providing was recognised."

The inspectors said the school provides a calm, purposeful environment which the pupils take pride in and that pupils feel cared for.
