What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 March 2024
Mithian School is friendly and inclusive. Pupils travel from many different villages to attend. The school have created their own vibrant community. Staff, parents, and pupils describe a 'family feel.' The school's ethos of 'EMERGE', which includes showing grit and enthusiasm, can be seen across all areas of school life. Pupils learn about the school's values in assemblies and through their learning in different subjects. Staff have high expectations and manage pupils' behaviour in a well-established way. Pupils' very positive conduct means that staff rarely have to remind them about their expectations. Lessons are calm and purposeful. Pupils feel safe and secure. If they have any concerns, they speak to an adult or use the 'worry box' to share their thoughts. Pupils take on a wide range of leadership roles. These include belonging to the school council, being a play leader, running the library and being the helper of the day in Reception Year. Such roles help pupils learn how to manage responsibility and become positive role models. Pupils talk proudly about the trust that is placed in them by staff. Pupils also enjoy the trips the school provides. For example, older pupils visit London and a local fire station, while the whole school enjoy a Christmas pantomime at the theatre.
What the school should improve
- In the wider curriculum, the assessment of pupils' knowledge and understanding is at the early stages of development. This means that teachers do not know precisely what pupils know and remember in different subjects. The school should ensure there is a consistent and effective approach to how assessment is used in all subjects.
