What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Norton Hill is a school where everyone thrives. The quality of education pupils receive is exceptional. Pupils are curious, independent thinkers with a thirst for learning. As a result, they progress extremely well through the curriculum. Staff know pupils and their families well. Parents and carers value the opportunities they have to share their child's learning through the 'learn with me' and 'starbooks' reading cafe sessions. Parents, without exception, would recommend the school to others. Inclusion sits at the heart of the school. Leaders ensure that the school's values enable pupils to understand the importance of treating everyone fairly, equally and with respect. Pupils are highly tolerant of those with different needs and beliefs. They benefit from a wealth of experiences on offer to them, such as listening to visiting scientists, historians and musicians. As a result, pupils develop a deep understanding of the world as a diverse, exciting place. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They meet leaders' high expectations and follow school routines well. Pupils across the school show high levels of maturity. They actively seek out ways to make positive changes to their community, such as writing letters to their local politician to improve road safety for children in the area.
