What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
This is an exceptional school. The school motto of 'aiming high together' encapsulates a vision shared by all staff, pupils and families. Pupils feel safe and valued. They are proud of the school and thrive during their time at Loxley. Staff are ambitious for pupils' achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve extremely well in all areas of the curriculum. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Behaviour is excellent. In lessons, pupils are enthusiastic and eager to learn. Residential opportunities take place across all key stage 2 classes. This helps pupils build resilience. Staff work tirelessly to ensure that pupils attend school as often as possible. The actions they have taken to improve attendance have been recognised at a national level and act as an example for other schools to follow. Pupils make a significant difference to the local community. They volunteer by helping to preserve the local woodland and maintain war graves in the area. Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including singing in the community and playing different sports. Pupils learn numerous tuned instruments, including the clarinet and keyboard.
