The principal of Bristol’s Evergreen Primary Academy in Easton says a 'seismic leap' has seen it achieve an Ofsted rating of ‘good’, up from 'requires improvement'. In 2019, Evergreen was among the list of the 20 worst schools in Bristol.
The latest Ofsted report said pupils were 'at the heart of this inclusive and diverse school'. Principal Jan Saunders said this was due to the school’s leaders 'going above and beyond'.
She said: “I am delighted for the school and the community that it has been recognised that the academy provides a good educational offer which enables our pupils to achieve well and are very well supported in developing as citizens." Ofsted inspectors praised the academy’s high standards of behaviour, safeguarding and pastoral support and overall ‘drive for excellence’.
