What do people say?
An oasis at the heart of the community. Diversity is welcomed and celebrated. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Leaders aim for pupils to ‘keep up not catch up’. Pupils are happy. They thrive in this inclusive and nurturing environment.

Leaders develop each pupil’s character by teaching them the school values. Pupils know and understand these values. They recognise and reward their peers for making the right choices. Older pupils are proud to be workforce monitors and contribute to the wider school life.

‘Being kind’ underpins all that pupils do. If pupils are unkind to each other, they are supported to reflect on how their behaviour has made others feel. Pupils have a voice and are encouraged to use it. This helps everyone feel valued, safe and happy.

This school has the X-Factor. Pupils at Penny Oaks are receiving an excellent quality of education. There is much that is worth sharing across the trust and beyond.

Attendance is considerably above the national average. This is no doubt a reflection of the fact that pupils build strong, trusting relationships with adults, enjoy the enriched curriculum and form friendships, as well as the effective attendance systems, processes and rewards in place.

The variety and range of meaningful experiences is truly impressive – more rare than common.
