What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

Staff and children are justifiably proud of this wonderful school. They belong to a caring community where diversity is valued. Everyone demonstrates the '9 habits' values, including patience and compassion. This is visible in the positive relationships between pupils. They do not accept any form of discrimination. From Nursery upwards, pupils know the importance of excellent behaviour. They always meet these high expectations, helped by the shared language used by all staff. They enjoy spending time together and help each other to be successful. Older pupils take on responsibilities. For example, they can act as reading mentors or pupil mediators, helping younger pupils with their learning and at social times. Pupils enjoy learning. They like how similar approaches are used by all teachers, as this makes learning easier. They each have an electronic tablet, which is used in many lessons and for homework. Pupils make impressive progress during their time at Foundry. Pupils appreciate the many trips and experiences they have. These are carefully planned to support their learning across the curriculum. For example, pupils have visited several places of worship as part of their religious education lessons. Parents and carers know that leaders genuinely care for them and their children. They value the excellent support they receive.
