Ofsted, Performance Data and Additional Statutory Information
Ofsted
Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They report directly to Parliament and are independent and impartial. They inspect and regulate services which care for children and young people, and those providing education and skills for learners of all ages.
Long Crendon School was inspected by Ofsted in November 2024. Following the inspection framework changes announced in September 2024, no single overarching grade is given during inspections. Instead, the five areas are assessed individually. We were assessed as:
Quality of Education: Good
Behaviour and Attitudes: Good
Personal Development: Outstanding
Leadership and Management: Outstanding
Early Years Provision: Outstanding
Attainment Targets
When children begin the school year they are all working towards the same curriculum standards for their year group. As the year commences, the teachers will be able to assess whether the children are meeting the expected level for those standards, working at greater depth within the standards or have partially understood and so are still working towards them. In reporting attainment we now use the terminology ‘working towards’, ‘expected’ or ‘greater depth’. All children are striving to meet the expected level by the end of their academic year. On starting the next academic year they will all be working towards standards again as they are faced with a new set of curriculum standards for their year group.
Long Crendon School Performance
Long Crendon School consistently achieves a higher percentage of children attaining the expected level than Buckinghamshire and England in Reading, Writing and Maths. See this link for the most Key Stage 2 performance summary:
