Stoke Goldington Schools elebrations were the order of the day for our school, as it Cwas announced that Ofsted inspectors recently judged it to be 'Outstanding' in all areas. It's a fantastic achievement for our small village first school. The achievement of pupils , the quality of teaching , the behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management were all graded as 'Outstanding'. The report revealed children "work very hard and are enthusiastic ", "make outstanding progress" and display "behaviour and attitudes (that) are outstanding ." The school celebrated the news with a special afternoon tea for parents , staff , pupils and governors . Headteacher Mrs. Kathryn Crompton enlisted the childrens ' help to reveal the results of each section of the Ofsted inspection , with a great deal of excitement as each result was declared . What's more, the school was awarded a Basic Skills Primary Quality Mark Award for the third time. The Basic Skills Quality Mark promotes, supports and celebrates progress and improvements made by a school in English and Maths - the 'bedrock ' of a good education.
