What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Milton Court is a welcoming, nurturing school where pupils thrive and flourish. One parent expressed the views of many parents and carers, saying, 'It is much more than just a school; it is a strong, happy community.' There is an inclusive, positive culture that supports pupils well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those pupils who are disadvantaged. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve, whatever their starting points. As a result, pupils build their knowledge securely over time and have positive attitudes to learning. The school's values of aspiration, collaboration and excellence are threaded throughout the curriculum and all that the school does. Pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as others. Children settle extremely well in Nursery and Reception and quickly learn to share and play happily together. Pupils are exceptionally well cared for. Their well-being is at the core of the school's work. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging and a strong voice in the school. They feel safe and happy. They are proud of their school and their achievements. There are positive, trusting relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils behave extremely well in lessons and in the playground.

What the school should improve

  • Too many pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This means that they miss out on important learning and the opportunities that the school offers. The school should continue to implement its strategies to work with families to further improve attendance.
  • Outcomes for some pupils are not always as strong as they could be. The school should continue with its successful work to adapt teaching effectively in order to ensure that pupils reach the highest possible outcomes and more pupils meet national expectations by the end of key stage 2.
