What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Moulton CEVC pupils love coming to school. They feel safe in this welcoming, inclusive environment, where they blossom and grow. There is a strong culture of aspiration at the school. Pupils rise to adults' high expectations and achieve well across the curriculum, particularly in reading and mathematics. Every pupil is encouraged to reach their full potential, regardless of their starting point. Pupils behave extremely well and have beautiful manners. They show respect for each other, the adults who work with them and visitors. Their classrooms are calm spaces, where they can concentrate and learn. The school's approach to unkind behaviour reflects its Christian ethos - it simply is not tolerated. Pupils demonstrate the school's core values of community, individuality and responsibility at all times. They say bullying does not happen and they trust staff to deal with any unkindness quickly. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their learning beyond the curriculum. Older pupils are proud to be junior librarians or members of the mental health team. These responsibilities enable them to act as excellent role models and help them develop a sense of community. A carefully planned programme of trips and extra-curricular activities enriches pupils' experiences and develops their talents.
