Ofsted
We were visited by OFSTED on 8th and 9th October 2024. Our last previous inspection had been in December 2018, and since then the school has faced a number of challenges.
It was very pleasing to receive the finding that the school ‘has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection’. This means that the school continues to be GOOD.
Here are some extracts from the report:
‘Lister Community School is highly supportive of its pupils. Pupils are benefiting from recent changes that have improved learning and behaviour.’
‘The school has raised its expectation of what pupils should achieve. The curriculum is more ambitious. The school is fostering a culture of joy in learning. Pupils are responding well to these new standards.’
‘The provision for personal development is well-planned and considered.’
‘There are opportunities for pupils to get involved.’
‘Everyone is working together to ensure pupils’ experiences are consistently high quality.’
The full inspection report is available here.
