A school is delighted after maintaining its “good” rating from Ofsted.

Heart Academy Trust’s Waterman Primary School, in The Boulevard, Rochford, was inspected last month with the report to be published this week.

The report reads: “The head of school is well supported by a passionate team from within the school and the trust. Together, they have successfully created a caring and inclusive school within the local community.

Headteacher Eileen Thorn said: “We are absolutely thrilled that the report supports our own evaluation judgements. I am proud of the hard work and dedication of my team at Waterman. It is an absolute pleasure to work with the pupils and families and look ahead to future successes and achievements.”
