What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 February 2023
Pupils love to attend this school. It is a school that helps them to be caring, respectful, curious, community minded and very well-educated individuals. The strong Christian ethos and values are brought alive in what the school provides for its pupils. Impeccable behaviour and the calm environment mean that the school is a purposeful place to learn. Teachers expect much of pupils, and pupils deliver. Pupils respect others. They are polite to each other as well as to adults. Bullying is not part of the school's culture. If it did happen, pupils know that they would get the help they need. School life is enhanced considerably by the wide range of things to do beyond the classroom. The breakfast book club is a big hit, as are the trips pupils go on and the many clubs that they can attend. The school sits very much at the heart of the community. Pupils contribute to village life. They welcome members of its community into school, often through the link with the church. This partnership gives a real sense of belonging. Pupils are keen to broaden their horizons and learn more about the rich and diverse world beyond North Woodchester.
