ELEVEN Kirklees schools are today named in a list of outstanding educational providers nationwide.
Their details are published in the Annual Report of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills 2006/07.
The report identifies and celebrates the 1,998 outstanding early years and childcare providers, schools, colleges, adult learning providers and children’s homes inspected by Ofsted last year.
In West Yorkshire, 55 schools, 27 childcare providers and one adult learning provider were judged to be providing outstanding care, education or skills.
Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills, Christine Gilbert, said: “I am delighted to recognise, publicly, such outstanding provision across all areas of education and care and to pay tribute to all who contributed to this success.
“Schools and colleges which have been categorised as outstanding in not one, but two or three of their inspection reports over the past 15 years are especially deserving of our commendation.
“I am particularly pleased to congratulate those schools previously judged by the former Ofsted to be inadequate which have been transformed over the last few years and are now providing outstanding education.”
Outstanding providers are given a distinctive ‘outstanding’ logo which they can use on documents and their website to communicate their achievement.
The schools judged as “outstanding” following inspections by Ofsted during last year are: Reinwood Infant and Nursery School; Netherton Infant and Nursery School (second time on list); Almondbury CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant and Nursery School; Birdsedge First School (second time on list); Hinchliffe Mill Junior and Infant, Holmfirth; Meltham Moor Primary School; Holmfirth High School; Savile Town CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant and Nursery School, Dewsbury (second time on list); Crowlees CofE Voluntary Controlled Junior and Infant School, Mirfield (second time on list); Spring Grove Junior Infant and Nursery School (second time on list); Crossley Fields Junior and Infant School, Mirfield.
