What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 December 2022
Pupils receive a first-class education. Everything they do and learn is of the highest quality. Leaders leave nothing to chance. They ensure that the curriculum is broad and highly ambitious so that all pupils achieve extremely well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who make huge strides in their learning and development. Leaders and staff provide pupils with a wealth of high-quality experiences, in and out of lessons. Behaviour is exemplary. Poor behaviour is rare. No time is wasted in lessons because of interruptions. Nevertheless, pupils were clear that if something did happen, staff would be quick to deal with it. Bullying is so infrequent that pupils hardly count it as a concern. They know that staff will deal with any problems immediately. Pupils said that they felt safe in school. Leaders and staff ensure that pupils are kept safe. The excellent provision for pupils' personal development underpins the school's success. Pupils are exceptionally respectful of others. They are polite and considerate, treating everyone as a valued member of the school community. Pupils contribute greatly to this community through their work as behaviour ambassadors, friendship buddies or school counsellors. When pupils leave Tollgate, they are extremely well prepared for their secondary school education.
