What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Pupils, regardless of their background, flourish at Wilton. The Christian ethos of courage, kindness, love, perseverance and respect runs like a stick of rock through the school. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and nurturing. Leaders have established a highly inclusive culture. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) experience the same broad and balanced curriculum as their peers. They enjoy opportunities beyond the classroom to develop their character, such as residentials and productions. This includes pupils with highly complex needs. Pupils feel safe and happy. Leaders have ensured the behaviour policy, 'The Wilton Way', is clear and understood by staff and pupils. As a result, pupils behave well in class and at social times. Staff support those who need help to manage their emotions. Pupils show kindness and tolerance towards each other. They say that bullying is rare. However, pupils trust staff to sort it out if it happens. Parents speak highly of Wilton and its staff. They appreciate the many changes that leaders have made. One comment, typical of many, was 'The school have been incredibly supportive in building my child's emotional well-being and helping with their learning'.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils who have fallen behind in their reading do not read books that match the sounds they know. As a result, pupils struggle to sound out words accurately and read fluently. Leaders need to ensure that pupils' books are well matched to the sounds they know.
- A minority of pupils are persistently absent. Consequently, they miss important learning. Leaders need to continue to work with families to ensure pupils attend school regularly.
