Ofsted recognised the unique and supportive school LJFS is and with its new head in place, school was taking all the steps necessary to ensure every student achieves to the very best of their ability.

Cllr Dan Cohen LJFS Chair of Governors said “I can do no better than quote directly from the report itself when it describes our school. It sums up what makes LJFS the unique school it is – designed specifically for our community’s young people. The report told us:  “This is a school that values diversity, inclusivity and kindness. Pupils feel accepted for who they are and appreciate the supportive environment created by their peers and the staff”

One pupil, typical of many, said, ‘You can’t pick your family, but you can pick your school and I would pick this school every day.’ Staff and parents agree. They know they are part of a special community that works well together.”

Newly appointed Executive Headteacher Charley Kelsey said “I am really pleased that the report recognises LJFS for the school it is. That it recognises the commitment of our staff and all of our school community and that it recognises we are moving our school, our curriculum and our outcomes in the right direction. Following our recent Outstanding Pikuach inspection, every one of us is. now absolutely committed to taking the leaning and guidance from the report, and rapidly moving LJFS towards Outstanding, not just in terms of Ofsted judgments, but in every aspect of what we do and achieve with our students and our community”
