What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils thrive in this school's aspirational culture, feeling happy and enthusiastic in their work. Pupils understand the high expectations the school has of them. They live by the school's motto, 'Let Every Light Shine', working together to create a supportive learning environment. Pupils know teachers are always available to help. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), succeed exceptionally well with extra support and help when needed. Many pupils achieve the high standards expected of them. Pupils are polite and respectful. They develop a strong sense of responsibility and pride in their community. Older pupils support younger pupils as part of their 'Alpington family'. Pupils contribute positively to the life of the school and local area. They sensibly lead lunchtime clubs and raise awareness of local issues, such as campaigning about anti- bullying and creating posters about road safety. 'Alpington Parliament' provides a platform for pupils to learn about democracy and make decisions that contribute to improving the school. This develops pupils' sense of self-belief and fosters confidence as they discuss and debate their ideas. Pupils celebrate difference and individuality. They learn to appreciate their local cultural heritage through visits to historical buildings and the local agricultural show.
