What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
Pupils at Loxford receive an exceptional education. This starts in early years, where strong foundations are built, and continues through to the sixth form. Pupils are safe here. They appreciate the support they receive from staff if they have a concern. The school is ambitious for all its pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is well sequenced and carefully thought through. There are very clear links across subjects from the primary into the secondary phases of the school. This supports pupils to build knowledge securely as they move through each year. Students in the sixth form benefit from a wide range of opportunities to develop their academic knowledge and skills. Staff have consistently high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave very well in all phases of their education. They are committed to their learning and take pride in their work. Where pupils struggle, the school takes prompt and highly effective action to support them. The school offers a rich range of wider opportunities. These include clubs, extra support for learning, leadership development programmes and school visits. Students in the sixth form are excellent role models for younger pupils. They participate fully in the school's LOX 100 programme, designed to develop their wider skills, independence and critical thinking.
