Outstanding Ethos for Learning
Posted: May 09, 2007    1:43 pm

The recent inspection of Norman Court Prep School (West Tytherley) has praised the school’s, “Outstanding ethos for learning,” which encourages in pupils a very positive approach to learning. The DfES accredited Independent Schools’ Inspectorate, which visits every six years, spent four days at the school in February during which they looked at every facet of the school’s life, including its strong links with the community.

The inspectors particularly praised the outstanding pastoral care, boarding life, PE, games, extracurricular activities and Learning Support. The school was described as a, “Listening school,” with excellent pupil behaviour, exemplary manners and excellent relationships with parents – all of which reflect the school’s family-centred ethos. Standards of achievement are above average across the school’s broad ability range and throughout a varied curriculum, “Which fosters their intellectual, personal, physical and creative needs as well as their interests and aptitudes…they think and act creatively and with growing confidence.”

The inspectors commented that, “Through accurate and conscientious self-evaluation,” the school is constantly looking at its needs for future development. In short, “Norman Court School very successfully reflects its aim to provide a good, all round education.”

The report is a fitting finale to Kevin Foyle’s twelve year headship, as he departs in July to become the founding Principal of The British International School in Singapore, and an excellent starting point for new Headmaster Paddy Savage. It also coincides with the Governors’ recent announcement of an exciting development programme.

U11 Netball Tournament at Bryanston

After a very shaky start losing 3 games in a row to Milfield, Wells Cathedral and Farleigh, the girls found their feet. They went on to beat the Downs School (6-2) and Knighton House (3-0).
They came forth in their group and went through to the vase play off.
In the semi-finals they beat Port Regis (9-2) and then in an exciting final against St Michaels they came out victorious (7-0) to receive the vase.
Congratulations to all the girls.
