Ofsted

Ofsted 2023/24

The school was last  judged by Ofsted to be Good following inspection on the 7th and 8th November 2023.

Inspectors noted that the academy sets high expectations for pupils’ learning, as well as high expectations for behaviour. Pupils achieve well and are equipped for what comes next in their education.

Other highlights include:

• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are very well supported. This is evident from pre-school upwards. The school quickly notices any emerging needs. They are swift to act to put targeted and effective support in place. They wrap a team around the pupil and the family.
• Children in the early years develop a joy in books and stories that stays with them throughout their time at Perton.
• Leaders are ‘spot on’ in their knowledge of what is working well and what needs to happen next.
• Pupils show a deep understanding of being ‘happy, healthy and safe’. They are developing into open-minded and nurturing individuals.
• Children in the early years learn in a well-organised environment. Staff help children to grow and develop as independent, confident individuals.
• The school provides many, varying opportunities for pupils to develop beyond the classroom. Pupils and parents cherish these wider opportunities.
• Plus, a wonderful quote from a child at Perton! ‘We are one big family. Not a birth family, but a family all the same. We care for each other.’
