CARDINHAM SCHOOL AND NURSERY

Where potential is nurtured and futures are inspired  

Education that goes beyond the curriculum

Ofsted & Performance

Performance and Achievement

At Cardinham School, we have high expectations for every child and are committed to helping all pupils achieve the very best that they are capable of. We believe that success looks different for every learner, and our aim is for every child to make strong progress, develop confidence and leave us well prepared for the next stage of their education.

We are proud of our pupils' achievements and the high standards they demonstrate across all areas of school life. Our most recent published Ofsted report can be viewed below and provides an external evaluation of the quality of education and experiences we offer.

Families can also access our latest published school performance data by following the link below.

Through regular assessment, pupil progress meetings, careful tracking and high-quality teaching, we closely monitor every child's learning journey. Staff use assessment information to identify strengths, address any gaps in learning and plan the next steps needed to support children in reaching their full potential.

We recognise the importance of keeping parents and carers informed about their child's progress. Strong home-school partnerships help children achieve their best, and we are committed to communicating regularly with families throughout the year.

Parents and carers receive updates on their child's attainment, progress and personal development at several points during the academic year, including:

  • Parent Consultation Evenings, where families have the opportunity to discuss their child's progress and next steps with class teachers.
  • A mid-year report, providing an overview of attainment, progress and effort.
  • A full end-of-year report, celebrating achievements and outlining progress across the curriculum.

By working together with families, we can ensure that every child is supported, challenged and encouraged to flourish both academically and personally.

We are proud of the achievements of our pupils and remain committed to ensuring that every child at Cardinham School is given the opportunity to succeed and fulfil their potential.
