What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Pupils delight in coming to school. Classrooms are awash with learning because pupils have highly positive attitudes towards their work. Classrooms are vibrant, happy places. While pupils have much fun and laughter with their friends, they know that when play stops and work starts, they are expected to concentrate and try their best. This is exactly what they do. Adults expect much of pupils, and pupils live up to these expectations. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. A culture of respect flows through the school. Adults keep a close eye on how pupils are feeling. If a problem occurs, pupils know that adults are on hand to help them. Pupils know that they are all different in their own special way. These differences are respected and celebrated, creating a harmonious environment. Opportunities for pupils to broaden their horizons are aplenty. Through the 'Kedington 50', the school provides pupils with rich experiences ranging from overseas trips and theatre visits to sporting opportunities. Pupils benefit greatly from these, as well as the many opportunities they have to bring about real change in school. Pupil 'role models' set the standard for others to follow. Pupils who share their passions by running lunchtime clubs for others thrive in doing so.
