What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils love their inclusive school! They, with staff, live out the school's motto of 'nurture, inspire, discover and create' every day. Pupils' performance of the school song, which they helped to create, enshrines an exceptionally caring and special ethos which permeates all aspects of school life. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers would recommend the school. As one parent, typical of many, wrote: 'The opportunities Stathern provides makes me excited for my children's journey through the school.' Pupils' attitudes towards their learning and school are remarkably positive. They consistently strive to meet the high expectations the school has of them. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They look after one another, including younger children in the early years. Pupils say they feel very happy and safe. They have every confidence that staff will support them with any worries they may have, although as one pupil said, 'we really don't have any here'. Pupils thrive at this school, academically and socially. Children make a fantastic start to their education in Reception. Pupils achieve well, particularly in reading and mathematics by the end of key stage 2. Pupils understand social and moral issues. All embrace the importance of treating everyone equally and respectfully.
