What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 April 2024

Pupils thrive in this supportive and popular school. They are happy and know they are kept safe. Pupils can name a trusted adult they would go to if they were worried about something, and they know how to stay safe online. Staff place an emphasis on positive behaviour. They show pupils how to interact appropriately with others. In lessons, pupils are excited about their learning. They love to talk about their work, but also listen to each other respectfully. They behave impeccably. Bullying is rare and pupils know that it will be dealt with effectively if it happens. The school has created a curriculum that is broad and ambitious. Leaders are determined that pupils at Walnut Tree Walk will succeed. They have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are taught some subjects by specialist teachers, for example music, dance and computing. These subjects do much to foster pupils' talents and interests. Staff encourage pupils to take on responsibilities, such as being eco-ambassadors and school councillors. Well-being ambassadors promote kindness around the school and provide mediation if there are any minor disputes in the playground.
