What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

There is a strong sense of belonging at Captain Webb. Everyone is proud to play their part in making the school the best it can be. Pupils are thoughtful, kind and caring. They behave very well and produce high-quality work that they are rightly proud to share. Everyone has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Reading is of the highest priority, and staff build pupils' language and communication skills right from the start. The school develops pupils' knowledge and confidence through an inspiring curriculum and highly motivating learning experiences. This deepens their understanding across the curriculum. Academic outcomes are high. The exceptional personal development offer is carefully interwoven through school life. Pupils learn to be responsible, active citizens. They value the wide range of opportunities to broaden their horizons. Pupils visit the Houses of Parliament and museums and go on field trips in the local area. They enjoy clubs, including chess, cooking and craft, as well as a wide range of sport. Pupil leaders, including safeguarding, reading and 'autism awareness ambassadors', make a tangible contribution to school life. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education.
