What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Pupils are enthusiastic about coming to this school, which they attend very regularly. Children in Reception cheer with excitement when they get a question correct. They love 'COOL time' (carry on our learning). The school wants all pupils to do well. The school is very successful in engaging those who find learning hard or who struggle with their emotions. As a result, all pupils succeed. Standards in reading, writing and mathematics are consistently very high. In addition to the wide range of subjects they study, pupils have a vast array of clubs and activities to enjoy. These include their award-winning 'TH radio', electronics and cookery clubs and several choirs. In lessons, pupils learn about their local area, including the history of the salt industry in Droitwich Spa. Pupils maintain exemplary behaviour and attitudes to learning, reflecting 'The Hindlip Way'. They are respectful to staff and other pupils, including those from different backgrounds. They are proud of having welcomed refugees to the school. Pupils take on responsibilities, such as play leaders. They recently elected a pupil prime minister. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe online and through swimming. There is always an adult to talk to if they are worried or upset.
