What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils receive an exceptional education at St Clement Danes. It is an inspiring school where pupils flourish in its welcoming and inclusive environment. Pupils are extremely proud of their school. Staff set the highest of expectations for behaviour and learning. This starts in the Reception Year, where children learn to focus on tasks, take turns and be kind and caring towards others. Pupils across the school are highly motivated and confident learners. They consistently embody the school's values by being respectful, trying their best and supporting each other. Behaviour is exemplary. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly across the curriculum. Published outcomes from national curriculum tests show that pupils attain well above national averages. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe because of the school's pastoral care offer and relentless focus on well-being. Pupils know that their worries will be taken seriously, and they trust staff to help them. The school prepares pupils extremely well to become responsible citizens through their extensive programme of wider opportunities. Pupils benefit from many trips, visits, and opportunities to take on responsibilities in school, such as school council, school photographers and sports captains.
