Dear parent or carer
Inspection of St Ann’s Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy by Ofsted
We have just told your child’s school that we will inspect it on 08 October 2019. The lead inspector will be Cathy Morgan. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet which came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools, and what happens during an inspection.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted’s online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child’s school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child’s school. Written comments can also be sent to the school in a sealed envelope, marked confidential and addressed to the inspection team.
To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.
Please complete the online survey by 11am on 08 October 2019 as this will give the inspection team more time to consider your views. However, we will consider all online responses that are completed during the inspection, although the free-text box facility will not be available after noon on 09 October 2019.
Speaking to an inspector
If you are unable to complete the online survey, it may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day, or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police. You can contact the administrators on 03000131244. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Privacy notice
During the inspection of your child’s school, the inspectors will collect information about children at the school by looking at school records, reviewing responses to the pupil survey where appropriate, and observing the everyday life of the school. In most cases, we do not record names. However, some of the information may make it possible to identify a particular child. Ofsted uses this information to prepare its report and for the purposes set out in its privacy policy. Ofsted will not publish any information that identifies a child in the report.
More information is available in Ofsted’s privacy notice:

St Ann’s annual SAFFA sponsored walk to Trig point in Bolsterstone, raising money for school trips and equipment
Last week the children and staff at St Ann’s Catholic Primary we’re pleased to welcome Bishop Ralph to their school. The children were excited to have a visitor to their classrooms and enthusiastic to demonstrate all that they have been up to this year. Bishop Ralph was also able to share some of what he does in his role as Bishop, and the children, in their inimitable way, asked the Bishop a range of searching questions! At midday Bishop Ralph joined the children for lunch in the school hall. At the end of his visit, Bishop Ralph commented on the excellent behaviour, attitudes and participation demonstrated by the children at St Ann’s. We would like to thank the Bishop for taking the time to visit our lovely school that we are so proud of.
Today we are taking part in safer internet day.
Safer internet day is the UK’s largest awareness-raising campaign to help promote the safe and positive use of technology.
