What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
The school's 'five simple truths' are at the core of everything the school does. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging in the school. Pupils are happy and trust the adults in school to keep them safe. One parent, typical of many said: 'Our son is thriving because of every opportunity - both academic and holistically - that he's been given since being at Latimer.' Leaders are highly ambitious for pupils' behaviour and learning. This includes ambition for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils achieve well. Pupils benefit from an exceptional personal development programme. Pupils show a deep understanding of having a say in things of importance to them. For example, following class consultations on what they would like to improve, the school council bids for funds from the parish council for the chosen projects. Pupils act as well-being champions and look out for and help pupils at the 'friendship stops'. The school choir takes part in regional singing events. Pupils understand how diverse the world is. They recognise and appreciate that families come in all shapes and sizes. Pupils take to heart the meaning of everyone being different but equal. This shines through their words and their actions.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that all pupils structure and compose their writing as well as they should. This means that some pupils are not producing work of a consistently high quality. The school should build upon their early development work in oracy to support pupils in attaining the high standards to which they aspire.
