What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
John Stainer is an exceptional school. Staff are rightly proud to work here and are determined that all pupils will be supported to achieve their very best. Pupils love coming to school; they feel safe and are kept safe here. This is because there is an inclusive atmosphere, and everyone is welcome. Behaviour is excellent in lessons and around the school. Pupils show respect for staff and for one another. They work and play collaboratively. Pupils readily demonstrate the school values, including friendship, respect and community. Pupils are kind to each other, and they do not tolerate bullying. If they are worried about anything they know there is a member of staff who will help them. Pupils' mental well-being is supported by the pastoral care team. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum. They produce work of high quality in different subjects and, as a result, are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school provides pupils with a wealth of opportunities to deepen their learning and develop their character. From sailing lessons to famous author visits and first-aid training, pupils enjoy a wide range of after-school clubs and enriching experiences.
