Harrop Fold School taken out of special measures
Following a full OFSTED inspection this week led by Jane Jones, HMI Harrop Fold School has been judged to be providing a satisfactory standard of education, and therefore the special measures designation no longer applies, and the school does not require any further OFSTED cause for concern category.
As a Governor at the school I am delighted with the news, and wish to congratulate the staff and children for all their hard work.
