What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils receive an exceptional education at Crofton Junior School. Despite being a very large school, it is a place where pupils and staff know one another well. Pupils are respectful and courteous to staff and to their peers. They are confident to report any worries they may have and trust staff to deal with these swiftly. This ensures that pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning. Pupils study a broad range of subjects and achieve very well, including in national assessments. Pupils are highly motivated and learn to study with increasing independence as they move up the school. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are 'Proud to be Purple' and embody the Crofton values: creative, resilient, open minded, friendly, tolerant, optimistic and neighbourly. Pupils display these values in lessons, around the building and in the playground. Pupils' wider development is exemplary. The enrichment programme identifies 51 things to do before you leave the school, for example staying away from home, seeing an orchestra and toasting a marshmallow. Through these experiences, pupils' cultural capital is further enhanced. There is a flourishing outdoor learning environment. This includes the outdoor garden and forest school, where pupils learn about growing fruit and vegetables and how to care for plants and wildlife. Pupils look forward to their lunchtimes, when they take part in a wide range of organised games and activities, including a common room.
