We are delighted to share Ofsted’s inspection report following their visit in January. The report thoroughly evaluates the school across key areas of safeguarding, inclusion, curriculum, achievement, behaviour, personal development, early years, leadership, and governance.
Thank you to all parents who contributed their views and thank you to all staff and governors for their ongoing work since the last inspection.
Pupils’ views were gathered during the inspection as part of the extensive class observations and group discussions.
Key Findings:
All areas of the school’s work meet the standards with Inclusion being judged as a strong standard. We are delighted with this, as it confirms the school’s many strengths and shows great progress since the previous inspection.
Most importantly, children’s views are reflected in the report:
‘Pupils at Soudley enjoy their time here. From the moment they join the school in the early years, they love coming to school. They feel welcome, safe and show a strong sense of belonging.’
‘Pupils enjoy learning the school’s engaging curriculum. They speak enthusiastically about their learning across different subjects.’
‘Pupils are guided by the school’s ‘SHINE’ values of listen, care, respect, kindness and always doing their best. Pupils demonstrate these values through their actions. They show empathy in how they treat others.’
