What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

Staff at Dersingham have consistently high expectations of what pupils can achieve. This is embodied in the school motto: 'be excellent, turn up, no excuses'. Pupils achieve well, including in national assessments, and produce work of high quality across the curriculum. The support provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is exceptional. The school is highly inclusive, with dedicated and committed staff. Pupils are rightly proud of their school and enjoy their learning. They are respectful and polite to each other. From the early years, children listen attentively to adults and learn to cooperate, take turns and share. Pupils' behaviour is excellent, both in lessons and around the school. Bullying is rare and pupils know who to speak with if they have any concerns. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the support their children receive. From early years onwards, all pupils benefit from an extensive range of carefully designed wider opportunities. These include weekly enrichment activities, school visits and residential stays. Pupils are eager to make a difference to the school community. They enjoy helping each other as 'motion motivators' in the playground or when acting as 'buddy experts'.
