Alma, the cross-communal primary opened six years ago, is close to becoming an outstanding school.

A short inspection last month, confirming its status as a good school, has recommended that the North London primary undergo a fuller inspection to see if it qualifies for Ofsted’s top grade.

Ofsted had described Alma as having “improved significantly overall”, parents were told in a letter from headteacher Marc Shoffren, chair of governors Ilan Jacobs and vice-chair Deborah Brooks.

The inspector “saw evidence that suggested we are likely to meet the criteria for outstanding”, they wrote.
