What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

At Redhill Primary Academy pupils learn to be a 'valued me'. This vision is lived and breathed across all aspects of school life. All pupils thrive both academically as well as personally and socially. Pupils learn an impressive range of subjects in depth. Parents agree, with one comment being typical of many when they stated, 'the school produces well-rounded youngsters who have expectations of themselves and others'. All this work means that the school's very high aspirations are realised. Pupils love learning and all aspects of school life. All pupils become confident, resilient and responsible citizens. This is due to the school's highly inclusive culture. Pupils have a thirst for knowledge. There are extremely high levels of concentration in class. They are supported well in making firm friendships and there is a harmonious atmosphere across the school. Pupils work and play together very well. Pupils learn how to respect each other and make sense of the world around them. Differences are understood and celebrated. They play a very active part in all aspects of school life, whether it is suggesting changes for the school dinner menu, fundraising for a variety of causes or litter picking in the local community.
