What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
The school's 'Sutton six' values form a firm foundation for all aspects of the school's work. The majestic London plane tree, which is situated at the heart of the school, features prominently in these values. Pupils strive to earn 'fruit awards' for effort and 'leaf awards' for conduct, for example. They wear their reward badges proudly. Relationships throughout the school are warm and positive. Caring staff get to know pupils well. This makes everyone feel welcome. Pupils know staff want the best for them. One said, 'Teachers are really kind and help you understand in the best way you can.' The school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils thrive in this inclusive and vibrant school. Pupils play together harmoniously. Parents speak very highly of the school. One parent, typical of many, said, 'I know that the staff want the very best for our children.' Children learn how to behave, rooted in the school's values, from the minute they join Nursery. Older pupils appreciate the opportunity to be 'well-being ambassadors', which involves supporting younger pupils at breaktime. This teaches them valuable skills of organisation and leadership.
What the school should improve
- Some subjects require further refinement. As a result, pupils' learning is not as deep as it could be in some aspects of the curriculum. The school should make sure that the curriculum is fully effective in all areas, including in how assessment is used to maximise pupils' achievement.
