What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils at this school flourish. The school meticulously considers the education pupils receive to ensure it is the best it can be. Nothing is left to chance. Highly skilled staff ensure that these ambitious intentions become reality. The school has the highest expectations of its pupils in all areas of school life. Pupils rise to these. They have a love for learning. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve highly academically. Consequently, they are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. From the moment children start in the early years, staff demonstrate high levels of warmth and care. Staff ensure that pupils with SEND play a full part in the life of the school, including participation in extra-curricular activities. Staff make precise adaptations to support pupils with SEND. This helps them to learn well and thrive. The 'Mount Hawke child can...' ethos develops pupils' character in exemplary fashion. The school supports pupils to achieve their 'personal best'. As a result, pupils have a thirst for learning. In lessons, they are self-motivated and learn well independently. Their excellent behaviour continues at social times. Pupils learn to help each other. Some take on the role of mental health ambassadors who sensitively and empathetically help those who need some emotional support.
