What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
The essence of Great Milton is captured perfectly in the words of the parent who observed, 'The school feels like a family. Kindness and happiness are at the heart, which is what makes the children feel safe and secure to grow as individuals.' Many other parents expressed similar views. Pupils, too, describe the school as being like 'one big family' with 'one big heart'. Those who have joined the school later appreciate how they were made to feel welcome and how something 'just clicks' so that they feel they belong. The way that the school embraced the arrival of refugees and their families a couple of years ago is impressive. While they have all moved on now, the legacy of empathy and the depth of pupils' understanding about what their former classmates had experienced is inspirational. The school is equally committed to pupils' academic achievement. The 'Great Milton Way', which includes 'be ready, be respectful, be responsible', underpins daily life in school from Reception upwards. Pupils work hard and know that it is okay to ask for help and to learn from mistakes. They gain a good grounding in the basic skills and important knowledge across the full range of subjects.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum beyond the core subjects is under review. As yet, the guidance for staff in a few subjects about how learning should build over time is not as helpful as in others in making sure that pupils have the essential learning for what comes next. This impacts on what pupils remember and know. In further refining the curriculum, the school should ensure that it is clear what knowledge, skills and vocabulary pupils must have mastered and retained at key points from early years to Year 6 in all subjects.
