What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

At Our Lady and All Saints School, pupils receive an exceptional education. Every morning begins with a smile from staff as they warmly welcome pupils each day. Pupils flourish in this happy school. They delight in everything that the school has to offer. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy learning and try their utmost to reach the high standards that the school has set for their achievement. They make excellent progress through the ambitious curriculum and relish the challenges that each day brings. Pupils' behaviour throughout school is exemplary. They are courteous, and considerate of staff and each other. Routines to support excellent behaviour are well established in the early years and continue throughout the school. The school has organised a wealth of experiences that extend well beyond the academic curriculum. These include residential visits to London, activities to develop pupils' teamwork skills as well as opportunities to take part in large scale performances. Pupils' involvement in events, such as visiting the local artist at work or singing outside the village hall, help to develop pupils' understanding of belonging to a wider community. Pupils are exceedingly well prepared for the next stage of their education.
