What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
St Agnes is an exceptional school where pupils are nurtured and supported to achieve their very best in all areas of school life. Leaders have high expectations and aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They have created an ambitious and interesting curriculum. Pupils' attitudes towards their education are extremely positive. They are enthusiastic and curious participants in lessons. Pupils are taught to be active and responsible citizens. They learn how to keep themselves safe. Behaviour is impeccable. Pupils are polite and helpful and they treat others with respect. They can talk about the different ways they are taught to appreciate and respect people's differences. Bullying is rare, and pupils know that there will always be a trusted adult they can talk to about their worries or concerns. This helps to ensure that pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. The development of character is exemplary. Pupils, including those with SEND, readily engage in the wide range of additional opportunities and visits that are provided to develop their talents and interests. For example, pupils enjoy attending multi-sports and chess clubs, as well as visits to Colchester Castle and the Ragged School Museum.
