What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Thomas Jones is a calm oasis where pupils thrive. Pupils arrive at school smiling and eager to find out what their day has in store for them. The warm welcome they receive reflects the caring and nurturing relationships that pupils experience throughout the day. Similarly, visitors are made to feel warmly welcome in the way that pupils greet them with a handshake and introduce themselves. Pupils proudly share which year group 'scholar' they are and their aspirations for the future. Leaders' vision is to ensure that the pupils here are safe and to ignite in pupils a sense of joy in learning. This vision is realised. Staff are highly ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Pupils are diligent in lessons. They take their learning very seriously. This commitment and enjoyment of their learning is reflected in pupils' very high attendance. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite, articulate and well mannered. At social times, pupils play happily together. They enjoy the range of equipment and activities available, such as chess where pupils arrange their own tournaments. The provision for pupils' personal development is impressive in its breadth and quality. Pupils are not only well prepared for life in modern Britain but are also given the tools they need to succeed and fulfil their goals for the future.
