Pupils, parents, teachers and governors at The Jenny Hammond Primary School in Leytonstone have been celebrating the result of the school’s Ofsted inspection in March.  The school was rated ‘good’ overall with behaviour and safeguarding rated ‘outstanding’.

Deborah Gibbon, the Head Teacher, said

“Although the inspection over two days was rigorous and challenging I am delighted the inspectors quickly recognised the creative atmosphere we all work so hard to develop and the published judgement ‘This is a good school.  The strong leadership team together with the governing body has developed a vibrant and harmonious community, with a focus on learning’ reflects well on our collective efforts for all the children.”

Neal Chubb, Chair of Governors, was particularly pleased as this was an improvement on the last inspection and said

“This very satisfying report indicates that this level of success only comes from, and is a tribute to, the close cooperation between the energetic leadership of Deborah, the Head Teacher, the work of the staff, the children, parents and the governing body.  I believe that if we continue with that cooperation and hard work in the future we can continue to improve and to do even better for all our pupils.”

The Cann Hall Focus Team sends congratulations to all concerned. Well Done.
