What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 April 2025

Aylesford school is a place where everyone is valued and included. Pupils understand the school's values of ambition, resilience and kindness. While children in the early years and pupils in the primary phase of the school speak positively about their environment, some pupils in the secondary phase say their learning is disrupted by pupils who are not always focused. However, these pupils also recognise that the school is, overall, an improving environment in which to learn. Pupils are happy, feel safe and know who to talk to about any concerns that they may have. Pupils in the primary phase behave sensibly. They support each other when learning and during social times. Within the secondary phase, however, some pupils do not follow the high expectations the school has set. Staff monitor pupils' behaviour around the school. However, some staff do not address and deal with pupils' poor behaviour well enough. The school prioritises pupils' personal development well. Students in the sixth form are proud to mentor pupils in the lower school. These roles help students understand how to be responsible. The extra-curricular programme is diverse. Pupils value being able to take part in a range of clubs such as dance, music and debate.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not behave well enough during the school day. As a result, some pupils are unable to focus fully in lessons or enjoy positive interactions with their peers. The school should continue to raise expectations for behaviour throughout the school community to ensure that all pupils have a positive experience of learning and during their social times.
  • The school has not ensured that teachers, especially in key stages 3 and 4, check pupils' learning well enough. As a result, some teachers do not adapt learning appropriately to meet pupils' needs. The school should ensure that all teachers adapt their teaching to enable all pupils to understand their learning and to receive the support and challenge needed to deepen their knowledge and key skills.
