Key Comments from Ofsted Inspection Report 2017

This is an outstanding school.

An inspirational principal leads a team of staff
who are as passionate as she is to ensure that
pupils not only enjoy their education but fulfil
their potential.

Teachers have limitless expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils are set individual
learning tasks to meet their particular needs, which means that they make rapid progress
as work is so well matched.

Pupils reach standards higher than those of pupils of the same age nationally by the time they leave the school.

Secondary schools that the pupils move to comment on how well pupils from Wharfedale Montessori school settle in, even when the environment and learning styles are very
different to those they have been used to. Other providers remark on pupils’ excellent
learning behaviours and their quiet confidence in dealing with all situations.
