  • Ofsted inspection highlights focus on inclusion and social, emotional and behavioural development

    Published 14/07/26

    The report of our most recent Ofsted inspection on 2nd June is now available via the Ofsted website and we're delighted that they highlighted our focus on inclusion and social, emotional and behavioural development:

    “…pupils develop a clear sense of belonging at Kings Meadow, supported by warm trusting and respectful relationships with staff. Pupils know that adults will help them and support them to face challenges…”

    “The school provides a highly tailored environment that enables them to re-engage with learning… as a result, pupils fees safe valued and included in daily school life.”

    New Style Reports

    As you may have heard in the news, the way Ofsted reports their results now looks rather different. Instead of a one word overall rating, there are six assessment areas.

    Here’s a short video from Ofsted which explains what the new gradings mean, which you might find helpful before you read the full report.
