Key Trust Responsibilities: Standards and Vision at Churchfields Primary School

 

 

The school is a larger than average primary that has increased its number on roll year-on-year since gaining its ‘Outstanding’ status.

 

In January 2012, Churchfields was potentially set to close. Ofsted judged the school to be

‘inadequate’ across all areas of the inspection framework. As a solution, Chesterton Community Sports College offered to lead the school using the high school leadership team to move the school out of special measures.

 

Whilst under HMI, the school moved from inadequate to good in May 2013. This was due to rapid improvement measures being put into place by the Trust’s team.

 

On December 1st 2013, Churchfields became the first school to join the newly formed Chesterton Academy Trust (now Collective Vision Trust.) Improvement measures continued and, on the 1st July 2015, the school gained an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted.

 

It is now an over-subscribed school. A new nursery has been built and the school has been completely transformed into a vibrant learning environment. Standards of attainment are continuing to improve.
