What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Most pupils enjoy learning at this warm and welcoming school. They value the positive and respectful relationships that they develop with staff and their peers. Staff care about their pupils' education and well-being. Pupils feel safe and supported in school. They know they have an adult they can talk to if they have concerns. Staff share consistently high expectations regarding pupils' behaviour and outcomes. The school's focus on the development of 'strong character' permeates all aspects of school life. Clear, consistent routines ensure that most pupils behave well and focus on their learning in a calm and purposeful environment. Any inappropriate behaviour is challenged quickly and effectively. The school provides pupils with a range of opportunities to enrich their education. For example, a growing number of pupils take part in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme or perform in the school show. There are a wide range of sports and games clubs and a history club with archaeology experiences. Parents are extremely positive about the school. One parent's comment, typical of many, was, 'I am very proud of the fact that my children attend Wrotham. My children are thriving there.'
What the school should improve
- Some pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils, do not attend school regularly enough. As a result, some do not benefit from the curriculum and wider experiences offered by the school. The school needs to ensure that all pupils have high rates of attendance.
- The opportunities for pupils to learn about and celebrate different cultures and faiths is limited. This means that some pupils' understanding of life in modern Britain is not as secure as it could be. The school should improve how pupils learn about different cultures so that they have a deeper understanding of the differences between people in society.
