What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Danetree pupils thrive in their learning. The school is relentlessly ambitious for pupils to succeed. Pupils work hard to meet these aspirations. As a result, they achieve exceptionally well. This is particularly true for disadvantaged pupils, and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school is a caring and supportive place for pupils. They feel safe and confident in talking to staff if they have concerns. If pupils need additional support, for example, in dealing with anxiety, the school provides time and space for this. Pupils value the respectful and positive culture that the school instils in almost all areas. There are a small number of pupils who do not adhere to aspects of the school's expectations. This results in occasional instances of disruptive or unkind behaviour. The school addresses these incidents swiftly, but despite this, some of these behaviours persist. Pupils of all ages benefit from a comprehensive enrichment programme. In the early years, children take part in workshops for baking, or planting in the nursery garden. Older pupils enjoy hands-on experiences with historical artefacts. These opportunities are designed to challenge and inspire pupils. Alongside the academic curriculum, this helps pupils to become confident and resilient in their learning.

What the school should improve

  • A small number of pupils do not show consistently high levels of respect for others. As a result, there are variations in how well the school's ambitions for a positive and respectful culture are established in practice. The school should make sure that they continue to engage parents, pupils and staff and that all pupils meet the high behaviour expectations of the school.
