What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils are proud to be members of this welcoming and friendly school. They enjoy coming to school and attend well. Pupils learn the 'Mill Hill Values' and show these around school, through their consideration and respect for others. Older pupils act as role models by helping where they can, including running lunchtime clubs. These are popular with younger pupils, who develop friendships that extend beyond their year groups. Pupils respond positively to the school's ethos that everyone can achieve highly. They learn about the importance of trying hard and making positive contributions. This is apparent in lessons across the school, where pupils keenly share their ideas and purposefully complete tasks. They are motivated to gain house points for effort, knowing that each one contributes to the hotly contested inter-house competition. Pupils achieve well and their successes are widely celebrated. The highly anticipated weekly 'Celebration Assembly' recognises individual achievements both in and outside of school. Younger pupils enjoy hearing key stage 2 pupils sharing the stories behind their accomplishments. Pupils are encouraged to participate in opportunities to develop new skills. These include residential trips about which pupils recall happy memories of their time away and describe activities where they conquered new challenges together.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, assessment does not identify pupils' knowledge gaps well enough. In these subjects, future teaching does not address the knowledge that pupils have not learned securely. The school needs to ensure that all teachers know how to use assessment across all subjects so that it informs future teaching and addresses pupils' knowledge gaps successfully.
