THE COUNTRY’s newest Sikh school has received a 'good’ Ofsted Inspection within 14 months of opening.

The Khalsa Primary School in Wexham Road was praised for showing rapid progress and for encouraging good behaviour.

Chair of governors, Nick Kandola, thanked headteacher Harshindar Kaur as well as her stand-in Jane Morgan for their hard work in getting the school up-and running.

He said: “We are delighted with the Ofsted report and wish to thank all the staff, parents, children, the local education teams at Slough Borough Council and governors for their support in getting this fantastic result which we can all be proud of.”

“Harshindar Kaur has done an excellent job in getting this school established quickly. She has a great team behind her and I have every faith that the staff will work towards further improvements over the coming months.”

The school has grown from 170 pupils to 283 since it opened in September 2007.
