What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
Pupils at Grange Lane are kind, welcoming and polite. This can be felt as soon as you walk through the door. Pupils look after each other. They show high levels of respect to each other and all adults, including visitors. There is a clear passion from leaders and staff to give pupils a wide range of opportunities and experiences. This ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs/and or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, experience success. This creates a highly inclusive culture. As a result, pupils get off to an excellent start to their education. Adults demonstrate the highest levels of care for pupils. Parents agree with this. Pupils of all ages thrive in this nurturing school. Pupils told inspectors that their school is a kind place to be. One pupil, representing the views of many, said, 'If we ever have a worry, teachers are caring and fix the problems or worries that we have.' Most pupils say that there is no bullying in the school. If there is, staff deal with it swiftly. Pupils benefit from carefully chosen experiences that build their understanding of the world around them. These experiences develop their social conscience and understanding of modern Britain. Pupils are proud to be leaders in the school, including on the school council or as eco-warriors or reading ambassadors.
