Local MP, Caroline Dinenage, visited Haselworth Primary School today for a tour of the school and to meet the pupils.
Haselworth Primary School were mentioned in the Department for Education’s White Paper released recently for Educational Excellence Everywhere. The number of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics has grown from 47% in 2012 to 76% in 2015 shows the incredible hard work that leaders, teachers and governors are putting into the school to enable pupils to truly fulfil their potential.
Their most recent OFSTED report in 2015 was rated ‘good’ compared to ‘requires improvement’ in 2013, demonstrating how well the school is progressing.
Caroline commented:
“It was great to visit Haselworth and see how well the School is doing. I had a fantastic chat with some of the students about the school and they were all very enthusiastic!
I am very proud of all of the schools in Gosport and it is great to see Haselworth’s success in particular being acknowledged in both the White Paper and OFSTED ratings.”
Emma Steele, Headteacher said:
“We are very proud of all our achievements and are continuing to strive towards outstanding. Our school and community have worked hard together to ensure every child is successful.
Caroline was able to hear how we are trying to access funding to improve our limited outdoor spaces, so as to provide every child with the opportunity for a healthy lifestyle.”
Since her election, Caroline has visited all 41 schools in her constituency – many of those on a number of occasions. She takes a great interest in education issues and has helped to secure an additional £13 million in funding for schools since 2010.
Caroline is looking forward to welcoming Haselworth students to Parliament on Monday.
