What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2022
Selwyn is a place where the school's five 'Cs', care, courtesy, commitment, consideration and cooperation, are put into action. Working relationships between adults and pupils, and between the pupils, are very positive. Older pupils share their ideas and give their views readily. In the early years, children sensibly choose the equipment or resources they wish to use. Two-year-olds at the school are absorbed in their learning. Leaders place no limits on what pupils can achieve. Pupils take great pride in their learning. Work on display and in pupils' books reflects the school's strong curriculum and shows the care pupils take over their work. Leaders ensure that the uniqueness of all pupils is cherished. All pupils have equal access to all that the school has to offer. They participate fully in the life of their school. Pupils are happy and safe at the school. They behave extremely well, and any rare incidents of bullying are swiftly resolved. Respect and tolerance are strongly promoted. Pupils visit local places of worship and are taught about the beliefs and cultures of others. The school's many extra-curricular clubs encourage pupils to develop their interests, including in music, performing arts and modern languages.
