What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
A 'Curzon Child' learns in a happy and safe school. The school is a place where academic achievement and personal development are equally essential to pupils' well-being. Pupils are fiercely proud of their school. They embody the school's values of 'courage, kindness and respect' in the way that they learn and behave. Parents and carers agree. One parent's comment is reflective of many, 'The school encourages children to be the best they can be in all aspects of their education.' Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is evident in their above-average attendance. Pupils show excellent behaviour and attitudes to their learning. These learning behaviours start in the early years. Effective and consistently applied routines help children to settle quickly and make friends. Building on this strong foundation, pupils across the school reach their teachers' high expectations. All pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils feel safe at school because they trust the adults who provide very high levels of care and support. Relationships are strong. Opportunities for pupils to take up leadership roles are many and varied. Pupils take these roles very seriously, which significantly helps to develop their character, sense of responsibility and respect for others.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects in the wider curriculum, the school has not specified for teachers the essential knowledge and skills that pupils need to know precisely enough. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge, and they do not achieve as well as they could. The school should clearly define what pupils need to know in all subjects so that pupils build new learning on solid foundations of knowledge and achieve their best.
