THE FOLLOWING PRESS RELEASE WILL BE  PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL PAPER

SUCCESSFUL  INSPECTION  FOR

 THE  PARK  SCHOOL,  YEOVIL

The Park School is successful in its aim to maximise pupils' achievement across a range of activities in a secure and supportive learning environment, according to the recent Inspection report as released by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.  Pupils know they are valued as individuals and their sense of self-worth grows with their sense of identity as members of the school community.  Relationships between teachers and pupils are excellent and are fundamental to the success of the teaching.

Headmaster, Paul Bate was delighted with the outcomes in the report.  He commented, "It is an excellent report and the school continues to go from strength to strength.   I am supported by a loyal and able senior management and by a hardworking and experienced staff team.  The teachers are enthusiastic about their subjects and they make a significant contribution to the education that the pupils receive".

It was reported that the school had no major weaknesses and since the publication of the report, the school has once again celebrated with excellent public examination results.

All parents have been sent a copy of the report.
