What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 July 2023

Hamd House School is a highly inclusive school where every child is 'safe, happy, visible and valued'. British and Muslim values are carefully combined to ensure that all pupils are very well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged, consistently achieve highly. Their work is of a very high quality. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) also achieve exceptionally well. However, leaders are clear that Hamd House School is about far more than just academic progress; it is about the whole child. 'Everyone is different but equal.' Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Excellent behaviour is an expectation of everyone. Pupils say that they have high expectations of the school, and the school has high expectations of them. Pupils want to behave well and they hold themselves to these high standards. Pupils enjoy coming to school and value their learning experiences. They say that poor behaviour in lessons is not tolerated, and so learning can move forward at a pace. The atmosphere of mutual respect between teachers and pupils supports this positive behaviour. Pupils report that bullying is extremely rare, but if it did happen, pupils have total confidence in staff to address it rapidly.
