What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Pupils learn how to make a positive difference at this inclusive school. They thrive due to strong relationships and a commitment to excellence that is shared by the whole school community. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Children in the early years develop confidence and begin to make rapid progress within the curriculum from the moment they start school. Pupils feel safe and are happy to be at school. Bullying or unkind behaviour, no matter how minor an incident may seem, is not tolerated. Staff are considerate and determined to resolve any issues that occur. One pupil said, 'If a problem happens, teachers dig, find the little parts and then solve it.' Pupils are positive role models for each other. Behaviour is a strength in lessons, around the school and on the playground. Pupils love the responsibilities they have such as junior leaders, 'buddies' and house captains. Leaders promote care and kindness at every opportunity. Pupils enjoy community events such as 'Memory Lanes', a Chipping Norton theatre production involving pupils and residents from the local care home. Pupils are proud to represent their school through many sports, art and music events.
