What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
The Queenborough values of 'Belong, Expect, Achieve, Thrive' reverberate strongly throughout this highly ambitious and exceptional school. They are deeply embedded in the school's culture and lived up to by pupils. Pupils love school, feel very safe and thoroughly enjoy learning. They are extremely proud of their school, their achievements and those of others. There is a demonstrable sense of community and belonging. Leaders have very high expectations for pupils' academic and personal development. Staff share leaders' determination to empower pupils to succeed in a very positive and caring environment. All pupils thrive academically and socially due to the excellent standard of education they receive. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are kind and considerate and always help each other out. Pupils agree that, as one said, 'Everyone is accepted; it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from.' Bullying is not tolerated and is extremely rare. Adults deal with any unkindness swiftly. One parent expressed the views of many by commenting, 'There is always a friendly welcome in the mornings to give the children a positive start to their school day, and a friendly goodbye at the gates at the end of the day, helping the children feel safe and happy.'
