'I have a child who's helped and supported in everything he needs' - Fleetwood school's damning Ofsted
’All my children have thrived at this school’
Charles Saer Primary School was placed in special measures after inspectors concluded it was "failing to provide an acceptable standard of education".
Ofsted inspectors discovered pupil attendance was lower than the national average and pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) were not doing as well as expected.
They also found teachers were failing to crackdown on disruptive behaviour in class making learning hard for youngsters.
Despite the damning report, parents of children at the school were quick to defend the school with lots of positive stories.
Nichola Clark said her child, who has SEND need has been supported throughout his time there.
She said: “He is behind in his writing but that isn’t because of the school, that's because of his send condition! Hes been helped and supported in everything he needs.”
Vikki Cook’s children have ‘always thrived’ at Charles Saer and said a failint standard of education reported by Ofsted doesn’t actually see the difference this school and its staff make in the lives of their pupils and that is what really counts.

She said: “All my children have thrived at this school they’ve been encouraged, supported and raised up by the staff here.
“How disappointing for such an encouraging and caring school to get such a disparaging report. It would be interesting to know how much time was actually spent in classrooms and talking to pupils or even parents because they go above and beyond for both.”
Kate Wood added: ”These schools are suffering because of a lack of funds. Many schools lack training, support and teaching staff which all cost. Nothing is free now.”
