What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils are rightly proud to attend this embracing, multi-cultural school. They truly embody the Clarendon motto of 'Together, we shine'. Friendship, happiness and a love of learning permeate the school. From the beginning of the early years, pupils benefit from warm and supportive relationships with staff. The school sets high expectations for pupils to succeed academically. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), typically achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils' behaviour throughout the school is exemplary. The school's values underpin the way that pupils treat each other, with care and kindness. They are keen and inquisitive learners who show creativity and resilience. Pupils feel confident to share their beliefs and opinions with others. They know that they are listened to, and their ideas are valued. Pupils take on positions of responsibility with enthusiasm. They understand the positive differences that they can make to the wider community. For example, raising money for a local hospice by organising a movie night in school. Pupils show deep empathy and understanding towards people from different backgrounds. They embody the fundamental British values during their 'wow weeks', for example in their recent debate about the use of the school grounds. They are remarkably well prepared for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, some learning tasks limit the quality of pupils' written responses. This sometimes hinders the quality of pupils' written work and opportunities for them to practise their presentation skills. The school should ensure that pupils have the opportunity to practise these skills, to improve the quality of their written work.
