[DPA Ofsted Nov 24 Inspection Report](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/140128) Since our last full inspection in January 2020, our staff have worked tirelessly and with huge ambition to address the identified areas of improvement. As a Headteacher, I am enormously proud of what our school has achieved and that this has been recognised by Ofsted with a judgement of **GOOD** in **all 5 areas**. I would like to thank all Devonshire staff, who remain committed to providing the very best education for our pupils; all parents/carers and stakeholders of the school for all their continued support; and The Sea View Trust, including all colleagues, for their backing, assistance and advocacy. The pupils at Devonshire Primary Academy are an absolute credit to the school and we firmly believe that they deserve the best educational opportunities available to them; it is because of this that we are swiftly addressing recommendations outlined in the report; this is in the relentless pursuit of only the highest standards of education and care for our children. Devonshire continues to grow from strength to strength; it is a school that I am incredibly proud of and a school that I consider a privilege to lead into its next chapter. Mr D.P.
