What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
The Molescroft motto of 'Everybody cares, everybody learns, and everybody matters' is not something that exists on a letterhead, it is something that permeates all aspects of school life. The motto underpins all decisions that leaders make. Leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum. Pupils, including those with additional needs, are supported to achieve highly. Through the vibrant annual international festival pupils learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and those who live elsewhere in the world. Bullying is very rare at Molescroft. On the rare occasions it happens, pupils know the importance of reporting it and are confident that it will be dealt with quickly and effectively. Behaviour in lessons and around school is calm and purposeful. Pupils mix easily with those from other year groups at break times. They enjoy coming to school. Pupils are exceptionally proud to 'be a Mole'. They talk about being 'once a Mole, always a Mole'. Key Molescroft attributes of working hard, showing gratitude and demonstrating kindness are reinforced by adults at every opportunity. Pupils are determined to demonstrate these attributes, and be ambassadors for their school, as they move through life.
