What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 July 2022

Pupils are very proud to attend Christ Church Chorleywood. They are appreciative of the caring community and the excellent relationships they have with staff and each other. Pupils are highly motivated learners and excel both academically and socially. Pupils benefit from the high aspirations and exceptional quality of education that leaders provide for them. Pupils persevere if they find their work hard. From the early years onwards, children learn the school's values of 'trust, love and respect'. They consistently display these values in their behaviours. Pupils have high levels of respect for their physical environment. They tidy up after themselves and take pride in their role of taking care of the plants and flowers, as well as each other. Pupils are kind and considerate. They appreciate differences in others and have a strong understanding of different faiths. Pupils value diversity and say that bullying does not happen because they have 'kindness in their hearts'. They play well with each other and make sure everyone feels included in their games. Pupils are safe. On the rare occasions that pupils disagree, they are confident that teachers would intervene quickly and effectively.
