What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils thrive at this kind and welcoming school. They develop warm, caring relationships that are built on trust and respect. Staff model the 'TERRIFIC values' that underpin the life of the school. Pupils try hard to achieve a 'learning leaf' for showing these values in action. They know that staff will support them with any issues that they might encounter. Pupils enjoy taking part in community projects, particularly the annual carnival. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning and what they can achieve. Pupils live up to these and work very hard. The well-taught, ambitious curriculum inspires curiosity. Pupils enjoy sharing their learning with parents and carers at the regular 'open events'. These help pupils to embed their learning. They achieve exceptionally well. Pupils are confident and self-assured. There is a myriad of opportunities to nurture their talents and interests. For example, pupils are keen to be the lunchtime radio DJ or a journalist on the 'Ringwood Reporter.' Well-being Wednesdays help pupils to overcome challenges and build resilience. Each year, pupils are keen to visit the 'job junction' and apply for roles of responsibility. They undertake these jobs with diligence and determination. They strive to earn 'squirrel stamps' to complete their 'TERRIFIC passports'.
