What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

The school's values of care, growth and respect are firmly embedded and underpin the school's mission. Seymour Park is a happy, vibrant and diverse community where 'all are different, all are equal'. Pupils show the utmost respect for each other and adults. Furthermore, they understand that they themselves have a right to be respected. At all times, pupils behave remarkably well. The school is unrelenting in its high ambition for pupils' achievement. The clear thinking behind what the 'Seymour Park experience' should look like transforms pupils and helps them to flourish. The rich and ambitious curriculum allows pupils to benefit from an extremely high-quality education. Consequently, they achieve very well. The school's plans for pupils' personal development show clear and ambitious consideration of pupils' futures. There is a well-thought-out programme of activities, visits and visitors. These provide plentiful opportunities for pupils to experience and understand life in modern Britain. Pupils are part of a caring community and develop a real sense of their worth. They are confident to express their opinions, and they know that their voice is heard. Overwhelmingly, pupils are resilient. They embrace 'wobbling' and, therefore, are not afraid to make mistakes. At every stage, pupils are fully prepared for their future steps.
