00:14Chesterfield Borough Council has already agreed to be part of the Government's Long Term

00:18Plan for Town scheme and to help prepare an investment plan for Chesterfield under a Town

00:23Board led by Chairperson Dominic Staniforth of Barber, Harrison and Platt Chartered Accountants

00:45A Chesterfield Primary School has been left disappointed after its Ofsted rating was downgraded

00:50but staff say they are working hard to improve.

00:53In an Ofsted report published this week, Hunlock Primary School at Lodge Drive in Wingerwith

00:57was given an overall rating of Requires Improvement.

01:01It is a downgrade for the primary which has 276 pupils on its role as the school has never

01:06been rated lower than good in its history.

01:09Commenting on the report findings, Jenny Murphy, who is Headteacher at the school said,

01:13During their visit, the Ofsted inspectors found a great deal to celebrate.

01:17We were judged good in three areas, however we are disappointed the inspectors gave us

01:22Requires Improvement in two areas.

01:24As a school, we welcome advice and act quickly on any we receive.

01:28Hunlock Park is a great school, offering an all-round education to our children who are

01:32happy here and learn well.

01:34We will continue to work tirelessly to develop our school, including the areas of concern

01:39which have been highlighted in the report.
