Ofsted inspections at Newport School
On this page you can see the letter to parents from Ofsted - and download a copy of the questionnaire. You can aslo pick up a copy from the school reception.
Dear parent or carer
Inspection of Newport School by Ofsted
We have just told your child’s school that we will inspect it on 9th to 10th of December 2009 . The lead inspector will be Gordon Ewing. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet which came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools, and what happens during an inspection. The school can give you this letter and the leaflet in languages other than English. These are also available on our website at www.ofsted.gov.uk.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), we are interested to know what you and your child think is good about the school, as well as anything that you would like to be improved. You can tell us your views by filling in the questionnaire over the page.
Please provide just one answer to each question even if you have more than one child at the school. You can add further comments by writing in the comment box at the end of the questionnaire.
Please return the questionnaire to the school by 1pm on 9th December in a sealed envelope, marked ‘confidential’ and addressed to the inspection team. We cannot use any responses we receive after this time, although inspectors will always take account of any matters relating to pupils’ safety. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police.
Questionnaires will be confidential to the inspectors. We will not reveal your identity, even if the inspectors discuss with the school any issues that you raise. The inspectors will use the questionnaires to help make their judgements. There will also be one page in the published inspection report which summarises the way that parents and carers have answered the questions, including the number of responses we received.
Speaking to an inspector
It may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. You can contact the administrators on 0117 311 5237. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Thank you for taking the time to fill in the questionnaire.
Yours faithfully
Hazel Wheatley
