What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
St Luke's is a school at the heart of the village community, but with a global outlook preparing its pupils for life in the 21st century. Pupils are clear that everyone is welcome at their school and that everyone is caring and supportive of each other, no matter their differences. Pupils learn about a wealth of global and local issues and have a strong understanding of fairness and injustice. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and conduct, and this is demonstrated impeccably across the school. Pupils are always fully engaged in their lessons and have a clear appetite to learn. This is remarkably evident from their strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm when speaking about a range of topics with inspectors. Pupils are exceptionally polite and well-mannered and feel happy and safe at school. There are strong relationships demonstrated in the classroom between the staff and pupils and a clear mutual respect for everyone. Pupils are clear that bullying is very unlikely to happen, and they all feel it would be swiftly dealt with if it did. Pupils are given the tools to be resilient, confident and happy learners through planned activities which support pupils' wider well-being very effectively.
