Middlethorpe Primary Academy in Cleethorpes is popping champagne corks, having once again clinched the highest accolade from Ofsted. Released on April 9, the latest report showered the school with praise for its compelling, ambitious curriculum and the overall ‘outstanding’ rating it has managed to uphold. The academy was lauded for cultivating a warm, friendly environment where pupils form solid bonds with their peers and teachers. Pupils were commended for their articulate expressiveness and strong affinity for the school’s learning opportunities. The report noted the pupils’ early years were marked by a strong start, fostering positive learning attitudes and independence by the time they graduate from Reception. Ofsted highlighted the school’s impressive academic achievements and commented positively on the well structured, effective lessons that pupils enjoy. The report also pointed out the academy’s personal, social, and health education scheme, which equips pupils with vital knowledge, such as maintaining physical and mental health, and understanding key British values and protected characteristics. This, Ofsted said, fosters inclusivity and shapes pupil behaviour. Executive Principal, Annabel Atkin, and Head of School, Steve Claybourn, expressed immense pride in the Ofsted results, taking special delight in the recognition of the pupils’ behaviour, the staff’s ambition, and the effective support system that propels pupils towards reaching their full potential. They reiterated their commitment to providing an exceptional education that nurtures every child’s potential and praised the unwavering dedication of the entire school community.
