What do Ofsted say about this School?
On 10 July 2007 a statutory Instrument was approved by the DCSF that Southminster Primary and Southminster Infants School should be recognised as a school having a religious character. Although the buildings, staff etc remained in effect the school became a new school and as such Ofsted offer no record of the schools performance. This is for administrative purpose and as such there is no negative inference to be drawn about the school.
Where does this school stand in the performance tables?

Does the Ofsted and DCSF reports give me an accurate picture of this school?
Most educational observers accept that the above reviews reflect some of the activity at schools but by their nature are best at capturing measurable qualities such as examination results and attendance levels but much less accurate in measuring other inputs to the children on issues such as confidence building, personal relationships, common sense, awareness of issues and development of intelligence that are also important in a child's education. For this reason this web site STRONGLY recommends that parents who are using this site as part of their process in deciding which school is best for their children or any other user who is considering the relative merits of local schools should make a personal visit to the school and talk to the staff and parents of children at the school to gain a fuller picture to add to the reports by Ofsted and DCSF.
Are comments on the school welcome?
Comments and information on the schools from pupils, parents, staff ad governors are welcome.
