We were delighted that in our latest Ofsted inspection at the end of November 2023 once again recognised what a wonderful school we have and the excellent personalised education we provide for each child. The following is a summary of some their findings:
- Dudley House is a ‘small school with big ideas’.
- Pupils thrive at this school.
- The school provides a broad, ambitious and interesting curriculum.
- The curriculum links closely to a rich set of wider experiences that help pupils to understand their learning in meaningful ways.
- Pupils behave well throughout the school day.
- Pupils live out the values of respect, inclusivity and kindness, which are underpinned by the school’s Christian ethos.
- Everyone is welcome at this school. The nurturing environment supports pupils across all year groups to learn and work in harmony.
- ‘Parents and carers are resoundingly positive about the school. A typical comment from a parent was, “This is the best school for my child.”
- ‘From the very start, pupils learn to read well. All pupils, including the youngest, show an enthusiasm and a love for reading.’
- ‘Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive because the school ensures that the curriculum builds on their previous knowledge.’
- The independent school standards (the standards) are met consistently and securely.
These are just a number of the positive findings that have come out of the recent report, which has rated the school as a GOOD once again.
