What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Pupils thrive at Southfield. Leaders have created an extremely ambitious curriculum. This is underpinned by a programme of rich experiences and frequent opportunities for pupils to apply their learning in different contexts. For example, pupils got involved in budgeting for an upcoming visit to a theme park. Leaders' high ambitions are realised for all pupils. This means that pupils are eloquent and enthusiastic about their learning. They produce work of high quality across the curriculum and are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils understand and consistently demonstrate the school's 'TRUE' values of trust, respect, unity and empathy. Relationships across the school are strong. Older pupils enjoy the opportunity to work and support their younger peers at playtime and as reading buddies. Pupils' behaviour in classrooms and around the school is exceptional. They feel safe and are kept safe at school. Pupils make the most of opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities. For example, the elected school council gathers pupils' opinions on the curriculum. They share their ideas with school leaders so that the curriculum evolves. Similarly, pupils have decided to name the school 'houses' after significant individuals.
