THE staff at a junior school on Walney have been praised for the work they have done to help students during the coronavirus pandemic. South Walney Junior School was inspected virtually on October 15 by Ofsted inspector John Donald, who found an improvement in mental arithmetic and a keener focus being taken on maths and English, like many other schools across the country. The Ofsted inspector said: Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills is leading Ofsted’s work into how England’s education system is managing the return to full education for pupils, following an extended break in formal schooling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
