What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils flourish at High View School. Everyone shares the same vision for pupils to be successful learners from the very beginning. Pupils learn exceptionally well. Outcomes are high, including for those who are disadvantaged and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are motivated and learn to take responsibility for, and pride in, their work. They participate with interest and enjoyment in their learning. They show high levels of concentration and focus and produce high-quality outcomes. The school's focus on oracy means that pupils listen carefully to one another. They use opportunities in lessons to discuss their opinions and thoughts, giving articulate reasons for these. Adults have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils value the consistency and fairness with which adults manage behaviour. Pupils know the steps of the behaviour ladder but say that adults rarely need to use the higher steps. They understand the consequences of their behaviour and actions. Children in the early years quickly learn to get along with one another. They share and collaborate in their play. The school supports pupils who struggle to manage their behaviour effectively. Pupils understand and respect 'hidden differences' in others. They are proud to say that everyone is unique and accepted here.
