What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 March 2022

Each morning, pupils arrive at school eager to discover new and interesting knowledge. Every pupil can excitedly describe a favourite subject. Many are keen readers and writers. Others describe how they compete to be the fastest mathematician. Pupils are equally positive about how the school helps them to develop their individual talents in the arts and sports. Staff want the very best for their pupils. In return, pupils work hard to meet high expectations because they also value their education. Staff regularly ask pupils about their home lives and interests. They do this because they want everyone to feel that they belong to the Springhill family. The benefits of this caring environment are clearly evident in the early years. Here, children make a strong start to their schooling because of the excellent care they receive. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They show kindness and care about their own and each other's education. Pupils feel safe, knowing there is always an adult available who will listen to their worries or concerns. Opportunities for pupils to talk about their feelings are frequent. These have been particularly appreciated by pupils and parents recently because of the disruption caused by COVID-19.
