  7. Summary of the Ofsted Inspection: May 2008 “ Naunton Park is a good school , which offers an exceptionally stimulating environment so that pupils achieve well academically and develop excellent personal skills. When pupils join the Reception class, their attainment is broadly in line with that expected for their age. They make good progress as they move through the school, so that by the time they leave, standards are above national averages and often well above. Pupils’ good progress results from good quality teaching and an excellent curriculum, overseen by strong leadership .”
