What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
Leaders strive tirelessly to empower all pupils at this school to 'dream, believe and achieve'. This ambition shines brightly through all aspects of the school's work. Teachers ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Pupils eagerly come to school each day. Parents speak highly of the support provided. As one parent stated, 'My daughter skips off to Aureus every day. Staff have been great in embedding a happy learning environment.' Pupils value kindness. They show high levels of respect to each other and to adults at all times. They are rightly proud of the help they give to each other when they are upset or lonely. Leaders and pupils do not tolerate bullying, meaning that incidents of bullying are extremely rare. Leaders provide thoughtful support and guidance that helps pupils develop into responsible, articulate and impressive young people. Pupils learn how to communicate effectively with a wide variety of audiences. Pupil leaders are proud to work alongside school leaders to educate their community about sustainability. This includes working to reduce the school's carbon footprint.
