What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2025

Staff support and nurture pupils well at Flamsted End School. Pupils are at the heart of everything that happens throughout the school. Pupils' personal development is a priority. The school ensures that there are ample opportunities to help pupils grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. Pupils are highly valued as individuals. Their achievements and successes are routinely shared and celebrated. This makes the school a happy and inclusive place to be. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils follow routines well, attend regularly and enjoy their lessons. They are happy and strive to do their best. Pupils take on roles such as well-being leaders, school council members and ambassadors. They enjoy sharing their achievements with visitors. These experiences build responsibility, leadership and emotional maturity. Pupils also develop character and a strong sense of belonging. The school's ethos promotes mutual respect and trust between adults and pupils. Pupils feel safe, valued and confident to seek help when needed. From the start, children receive an exceptional early education. Across the early years, they build strong foundations in communication, language and number. Pupils achieve well across the curriculum. They develop confidence, resilience and respect. They understand what it means to be a good citizen and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

  • In a few of the foundation subjects, the activities which pupils are given do not help them to learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. This affects how well some pupils build their knowledge in these subjects. The school should ensure that teaching activities in these subjects help pupils to build their knowledge securely over time.
  • Sometimes, pupils with SEND are not given learning activities which are well matched to their individual needs and targets. This sometimes affects how well pupils with SEND achieve across parts of the curriculum. The school should ensure that, in lessons, learning activities are well matched to pupils' needs.
