What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2024

Pupils thrive at this vibrant school, where 'every day matters'. Older and younger pupils play together with kindness and enthusiasm. This helps to build a strong sense of community within the school. Pupils know they belong here and they feel valued. They enjoy coming to school. This ethos helps to instil the high level of respect pupils show towards each other and staff. Staff have incredibly high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils rise to these expectations. They work hard in lessons to be the very best they can be. Pupils benefit extensively from the rich and varied experiences the school carefully plans. These opportunities bring the curriculum to life. Trips to a synagogue, the beach, or cooking using eggs from the school chickens give pupils meaningful learning experiences. From the moment children step through the door into the pre-school they live and breathe the values of the school. They quickly develop their positive attitudes to learning through the enticing early years curriculum. Pupils are friendly and help each other to solve any issues. They trust adults at this caring school to look out for them. Pupils feel very secure at Warren Dell.
