What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Malmesbury School believes that 'Happy + Caring = Excellent' and this underpins how the school supports pupils to achieve exceptionally well. Pupils, students in the sixth form and adults have warm relationships which reflect the respectful and aspirational culture. Everyone shares a pride in this school. The school has very high expectations for pupils' behaviour. On the rare occasion it falls below expectation, this is swiftly dealt with by adults. They ensure that pupils understand why a behaviour was not acceptable so that it is not repeated. The school does not tolerate any form of bullying. Pupils are confident to report concerns, knowing that adults will act. Anti-bullying ambassadors and peer mentors help other pupils to understand the importance of tolerance. As a result, pupils feel safe in school and attend well. Pupils are keen to take on leadership roles. For example, pupils are enthusiastic about hosting fundraising events for charities, organising remembrance events and campaigning on local issues. The sixth-form advocacy programme enables students to lead on key events, acting as role models for younger pupils. The school actively contributes to local festivals and celebrations. This develops pupils' cultural understanding and nurtures their talents and interests.
