Duke Street Primary School has achieved a ‘good’ Ofsted inspection rating.
The inspection, which took place on October 23 and 24, noted that pupils were making good progress and achieving well.
Ofsted said that teaching at Duke Street is good overall and some outstanding teaching was seen.
John Ashley, lead inspector, commented in the report that the quality and consistency of teaching since the last inspection has improved.
The report said it was not yet an ‘outstanding’ school because ‘some lessons were not suited to every pupil’ and a few shortcomings, ‘not all staff know how best to support pupils who find it hard to control their behaviour’.
Andrew Kidd said “This report will be used as a platform from which we aim to improve even further.”

As is illustrated in the entry for Wednesday, August 22, 2012, it is understandable why staff are reluctant to control children’s behaviour.
An allegation of child abuse is the result and another teacher’s career is destroyed.
It is a brave teacher who can address such issues, especially at Duke Street !
