The school was inspected by Ofsted in June 2010. The complete Ofsted report can be obtained by clicking here.

Highlights from the report include:

1. Grimoldby is a good and improving school where pupils are happy and enjoy their education. This is clearly evident in both the parent and pupil questionnaires. One parent wrote, ‘It’s a lovely school with all teachers ready to help with challenges that may arise, turning negatives into positives.’ Another remark was, ‘My daughter thoroughly enjoys school… she has been very fortunate to attend Grimoldby School and has many fond memories.’ These echo the comments made by many other parents.
2. The quality of teaching is good and rapidly improving. Some outstanding lessons were observed by inspectors. The effect of this is clearly evident in the classrooms, where learning and progress are consistently good and better. Teachers are confident in their own subject knowledge and revel in pupils’ questions.
3. When children start in the Nursery or Reception classes, their skills are broadly similar to those typical for their age, but this varies from year to year. The very warm and caring relationships between adults and children, along with the bright, lively and well resourced learning environment, ensure that children quickly develop a thirst for learning.
4. Children’s personal, social and emotional development is outstanding. Adults take every opportunity to encourage children to understand routines and boundaries. This results in very good behaviour and excellent manners. Careful attention is given to ensuring that children learn in a safe and secure environment.
