What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Being part of Notley Green is to be a member of a family. Making sure pupils get a high- quality education is everyone's business. Whether it is making learning interesting, giving extra help or ensuring that everyone is safe, the school makes sure that no one is left out. Pupils' views echo these points. Pupils enjoy school immensely and take pride in being kind and respectful. The drive for excellence is tangible. It is illustrated by the exemplary behaviour of pupils and in the way respect for others pervades the school. It shows in pupils' highly positive attitudes to learning and in teachers' focus on helping all to learn regardless of capability or background. Pupils said that learning is 'fun and serious at the same time'. This coming together of enjoyment and purpose is one of the things that makes this school successful. Bullying is rare. A significant part of this success is the expertly designed curriculum, including the wide range of extra-curricular activities. The wealth of experiences support pupils' education most effectively. In Reception, children gain the social and emotional confidence to move seamlessly into Year 1. As pupils get older, strong personal skills complement their deepening subject knowledge. This prepares them especially well for the move to secondary school.
