The Education Review Office completed our most recent review during September, 2016. This review found that leaders
and teachers:
• Know the children whose learning and achievement need to be accelerated
• Respond effectively to the strengths, needs and interests of each child
• Regularly evaluate how well teaching is working for these children
• Act on what they know works well for each child
• Build teacher capability effectively to achieve equitable outcomes for all children
• Are well placed to achieve and sustain equitable and excellent outcomes for all children.

In a recent school survey parents identified a number of special characteristics that sets Cotswold School apart from
others including:
• Quality of teachers and strong leadership team. This provides a solid platform for learning and growing. Very
     impressed with the leadership from the top right through all staff and team members.
• High standards, caring environment and passionate staff
• Well organised school with experienced staff
• A real sense of community. Great community values - the school has a real family friendly feel about it - a family
     orientated school.
• The size of the school gives lots of opportunities not available in many other primary schools. These include a wide
     range of sporting and cultural opportunities for all children.
• The diverse cultural mix.
• Professional approach to teaching, A well articulated vision and the strong commitment to a positive school identity.
• Access to a wide range of technology and ICT’s.
• Teachers take learning seriously and assess the children so that they can shape their teaching around how the child
     learns and the areas that they require extra focus on. Our children are encouraged to participate in cultural and
     sporting activities.
• A caring structured and disciplined environment.
• An environment of inclusion and participation for everyone.
• Family and friends love to come and watch the children in school productions, shows, assemblies, cross country,
     sports days and see their learning in the classroom. Cotswold promotes a home-school relationship that we love
     being part of in helping our children reach their potential. Grandparents are amazed at the reports our children get
     and all of the activities they are able to be involved in.
