What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

Fox Grove is an exceptional school. It is an inspirational place where pupils, at all stages of their school life, thrive, both socially and academically. The school is ambitious for every pupil. Through the exceptionally strong and trusting relationships with staff, pupils relish their learning across a breadth of subjects. As a result, pupils learn how to communicate their feelings and ideas very well. Children in the early years respond enthusiastically to stories. Students in the sixth form enjoy developing the skills they need for a successful life beyond school. Staff are highly knowledgeable about the specific educational and personal needs of pupils. This results in every pupil progressing through an expertly designed curriculum that focuses on helping them to grow their love of learning. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Where required, well-trained staff provide expert support, helping pupils to regulate their emotions with dignity. Pupils demonstrate an exceptional sense of belonging, pride and self-worth, understanding the overwhelmingly positive contribution that they make to their community. Bullying is understood and not tolerated. As a result, the school provides a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, including those with the most complex needs.
