In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper, HEP Insight and Intelligence Lead, talks to Sian McDermott, Headteacher at Rowland Hill Nursery School & Children Centre, about her school and the outstanding grade it received from its latest Ofsted inspection. Topics covered include how Rowland Hill achieved a grade of 'outstanding' from Ofsted, how the school fostered an environment of joy, how the staff delivers such high-quality and inclusive SEND provision, and what sets Rowland Hill's curriculum apart, among others.

The conversation was both enlightening and fun, and hopefully offers other nursery school teachers and leaders a glimpse at what 'outstanding' early years provision looks like. Of course, there is no magic formula for perfect provision, but Rowland Hill definitely ticked all of Ofsted's boxes and more.
