Ofsted Report October 2006
The most recent Ofsted report stated that children's behaviour and morals were outstanding. The first two paragraphs of this report read:
Delapre is a good school. Pupils really enjoy school and their behaviour is outstanding. They report that lessons are fun and that they were really looking forward to their return after the summer holidays. One reason for this is the outstanding curriculum that really engages pupils and greatly contributes to their enjoyment of school, their wish to learn and their personal development. The school makes very good use of visits and visiting speakers to extend pupils' experiences and aspirations. Such subjects as French and violin lessons add real breadth and interest to learning. The lively gifted and talented programme is successfully stretching the most able pupils.Pupils thrive in the school's friendly and purposeful environment. Parents are extremely happy with all aspects of the school and rightly think that the care, guidance and support of pupils are outstanding. Typically they say 'I am more than pleased with my children's progress and have never had any concerns about their welfare'. The school is held in high regard within the locality because of its successful community work and pupil numbers are rising.
