What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 March 2024

This is an exceptional school that is at the heart of its community. Leaders have made the school a nurturing place for both staff and pupils. In partnership with parents and carers, the school works very successfully to meet pupils' needs. Staff are highly committed to improving the life chances of all pupils. They know pupils and their families extremely well. Everyone at Midfield treats each other with high levels of respect. Leaders have the highest expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All staff want pupils to achieve their very best, and pupils consistently do. They excel in their learning across the subjects. Pupils are polite and courteous. Their behaviour around the school is calm and orderly. Pupils understand the school rules and follow them well, both inside and outside the classroom. At social times, pupils play well together and take turns. Pupils have trusted adults who they can talk to. They know that adults will sort out any incidents of unkind behaviour. Bullying is not tolerated, and any rare incidents are dealt with swiftly. Pupils are kept safe and feel happy here. As they get older, pupils enjoy taking part in a range of school-wide leadership opportunities. These include being playground monitors, oracy ambassadors and members of the junior leadership team.
