What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
The school's determination for pupils to experience a 'journey of opportunities' means that they thrive and flourish. The values of independence, creativity, resilience, and teamwork thread through the curriculum themes. These form the basis for consistently high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils are highly motivated in their lessons and achieve extremely well. Their behaviour is exemplary at all times. The school listens and responds to pupils, giving them a strong voice in shaping systems and procedures. At breaktimes, activities and equipment such as chalk and boards are available, following pupils' requests. Pupils take an active part in organising and running games for their friends, such as 'What's the time, Mr Wolf?' Members of the school council are proud of their contributions to the sensory garden and to restoring the pond. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive in their feedback about the school. From the moment their children start in early years, they feel part of the school family. They receive helpful information to allow them to support learning at home. This offer includes opportunities to attend reading and mathematics workshops and lessons, working alongside their children. Families value how the school helps them to feel connected with the local community, including participation in Totton's Christmas lantern parade.
