What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

Pupils love coming to Gatton (VA) Primary School. Staff and pupils celebrate and embody the Muslim ethos which is central to the life of the school. Pupils are well mannered and respectful towards each other. They demonstrate impeccable behaviour in lessons and around the school. Bullying is very rare. Pupils know how to raise concerns should they happen. This helps to ensure that pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school. Pupils benefit from an extensive wider offer of activities and opportunities. For example, all pupils have weekly swimming lessons in the school's on-site pool. Pupils develop their talents through a range of clubs on offer such as cricket, cooking and enterprise. Pupils readily share their poetry, music or comedy at the termly showcase, as well as performing their final pieces from music lessons. Pupils contribute to their school and wider community through the school newspaper, as members of the school council or as 'senior pupils'. All staff have high expectations of pupils, which they consistently strive to meet. Leaders are quick to celebrate pupils' achievements and there is a culture where mistakes are recognised as a natural part of learning. This means that pupils develop resilience, enjoy learning and work hard to achieve their goals. As a result, pupils achieve highly across the curriculum, including in national assessments.
