Ofsted

At Chilwell Croft, we are proud to be recognised by Ofsted as a consistently Good school, reflecting the strong foundations we have in place and our ongoing journey toward being exceptional in all areas. Every day, our ambitious curriculum and high expectations help pupils thrive, and Ofsted were able to see that our motto All Different; All Equal; All Achieving is lived throughout the school.

Ofsted have highlighted pupils’ excellent behaviour and enthusiasm for learning. Our strong focus on early reading and language ensures every child becomes a confident, fluent reader with a genuine love of books. Mathematics is a particular strength, with pupils tackling challenging work successfully. A rich programme of experiences, trips and visitors supports personal development and prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain. We are deeply committed to meeting every child’s needs, with effective safeguarding and tailored support enabling all learners to achieve well.

What truly sets Chilwell Croft apart, though, is the difference we make to the lives of our pupils and their families. Through this report you will see that we work in close partnership with parents to provide guidance, support and reassurance, creating a strong sense of belonging and trust. Our inclusive approach ensures that every child feels valued and understood, while our wraparound care and community links help families access the resources they need. We hope you enjoy reading the latest report as much as we did, and that through it you see that we are a highly successful school, proud to provide the strong foundation for pupils to grow into happy, confident and successful young people within our school family and beyond.
