Loseley Fields is a vibrant and ambitious school. Pupils feel happy and safe because of the caring nature of the school community. Pupils love coming to school and look forward to learning new things. They respect their teachers and like to be with their friends. Pupils are bright, curious and eager to please. Leaders set high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour, and pupils rise to the challenge superbly. They know that staff always expect them to be polite and try their best. Pupils are very kind to each other and are proud of how friendly and welcoming their school is. Pupils say that bullying is not a worry. If issues occur, staff respond quickly and effectively. Pupils really enjoy playing together in the beautiful school grounds, with many activities to choose from. Work on personal development, including pastoral care and citizenship, is exceptional. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about this school. For example, they appreciate the inclusive approach and that pupils are treated as individuals. Everyone works together to enable all pupils to feel that they belong. Summing up the views of many, one parent said: 'The teachers go above and beyond with activities linked into the curriculum that really engage the children. Our son is very lucky to attend such a wonderful school.'

What the school should improve

• In foundation subjects, teachers do not always incorporate effective assessment opportunities into lessons. This means teachers do not consistently check for understanding and ensure that knowledge and skills build securely over time. Leaders need to refine their approach to assessment so it is systematically checking understanding and supporting pupils to use knowledge fluently so they can remember more.
