Dear Pupils,
Inspection of Newport School, Leyton, E10 6PJ
Thank you for the warm welcome when we visited your school recently. We really
enjoyed observing how you are getting on, visiting lessons and talking with you. We
were pleased to see that you are happy at school and get on well together. Your new
headteacher and all the staff are really keen to improve Newport School.
Theyrecognise that they need extra help to continue to improve teaching and assessment
so that you make better progress and improve the standards you achieve. We have
decided that the school needs something we call ‘special measures’.
As a result of this decision the school will receive extra help to make it a better place for learning
and inspectors will return in a few months to check on the progress that the school is
making.
Newport School helps you to develop as young citizens and we were pleased to see
that you are polite and work well in teams. It is clear that you feel safe at school and
can make good choices about how to keep healthy. Your attendance and punctuality
have improved this term – well done!
Your school council is proud of its early achievements and the parent-teacher association is working hard to make your playground a place where you can enjoy more interesting activities. Your school
provides you with some interesting activities such as Black History Month and Cities
Stories. After-school clubs offer you many chances to socialise and develop other
interests.
Until recently, the quality of teaching was not good enough to help you make as
much progress as you should. This means that many of you did not do as well as you
could in English, mathematics and science.
We have asked all teachers to make sure that they plan their lessons well, so that the work set is better matched to your ability. Your teachers have already started to improve the marking of your work. However, we think more needs to be done to help you understand how well you are
doing and what steps you need to take next, so that you become more confident to
work well on tasks by yourselves.
You all have an important part to play in helping your school improve.
We are confident that you will continue to attend school regularly and work even harder in
order that Newport School is an even better place for learning. We wish you every
success.
Yours sincerely,
Gordon Ewing
Lead Inspector
