Ofsted Inspection Information

We were most recently inspected by Ofsted in November 2022 and there has been no change to this school's overall judgement of outstanding as a result of this ungraded (section 8) inspection.

Here are a few highlights from our report:

• Leaders are ambitious that special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) will not hold pupils back, and staff are determined that not a moment is wasted.
• An ambitious new curriculum is in place for all subjects, and leaders are confident that, in time, this will get the best outcomes for all pupils.
• At Victoria, there is a very calm and purposeful environment. Behaviour across the school is positive.
• When children start at Victoria, staff work with families to ensure the right provision is in place from day one.
• Teachers work well with services, such as sensory processing specialists and physiotherapists, to plan provision to overcome barriers to learning.
• Ambition is high in all subjects. For many pupils, they are thriving on these high expectations.
• The school council and the students’ leadership team provide opportunities to develop responsibility and contribute positively
• Confidence to try new things and be creative are welcomed by leaders. Staff embrace the challenge to be ambitious for every pupil.
