At First Steps Together, we are proud to be part of the Ofsted framework, which ensures that schools across the country meet the highest standards of education, safeguarding, and student wellbeing. Ofsted inspections provide valuable insights into our progress and highlight areas where we can continue to grow and excel.

What is Ofsted?

Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) is an independent body that inspects and regulates education providers in England. Their role is to evaluate the quality of education, care, and support provided to children and young people, ensuring that every student has access to the best possible opportunities to succeed.

At First Steps Together, we are dedicated to providing an outstanding educational experience for all our students. Through our high standards, inclusive ethos, and focus on personalised learning, we work tirelessly to meet and exceed the expectations set by Ofsted. Our commitment is to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every young person can thrive.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection offers valuable feedback on our strengths and areas for growth. The report reflects our dedication to providing high-quality education and highlights the positive impact of our staff, leadership, and community partnerships.
