Ofsted

Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in March 2025. Inspections no longer have an overall rating, but the school was judged as ‘good’ in all areas inspected.  This includes:

  • Quality of Education
  • Personal Development
  • Behaviour and Attitudes
  • Leadership and Management
  • Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

We were very pleased with the outcome of the inspection and now look forward to continuing our exciting next steps.

The inspection team commented that:

  • The ‘Pochin Values’ are lived and acted upon by pupils. They are proud of their school and of how everyone is welcome. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated.’
  • ‘Pupils flourish through the high-quality opportunities for personal development that the school provides.’
  • ‘Pupils benefit from an ambitious curriculum and achieve well. They enjoy learning and find subjects interesting.’
  • ‘Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to school and towards each other. They show kindness and are respectful and courteous to their peers, staff and visitors.’
  • ‘Teachers provide clear explanations of new knowledge. For instance, they explain new vocabulary and technical terms well in mathematics. Teachers encourage pupils to answer questions in clear sentences to help them to communicate well. Teachers model expertly how to use expression and intonation when reading.’
  • ‘Pupils are sociable and happy. They know how to be good friends. They play happily together at social times.’
