Japanese club receives praise from Ofsted

Ofsted have reacted very positively to seeing a popular Japanese club at Longman’s Hill Community Primary school in Selby, Yorkshire.  The school received the following comments in their Ofsted report:

“Personal development, behaviour and welfare: Outstanding
There is a wide range of after-school and lunchtime clubs, such as a computing club and a very popular Japanese club. Pupils were very keen to tell inspectors the Japanese phrases they had learned and how they study Japanese culture.”

This primary school has been running a successful Japanese club since 2015. Since introducing the club, the number of pupils wanting to be involved has doubled, so the school applied and  received a grant from the Japan Foundation’s Local Project Support Programme in 2016.
