OfSTED Inspection 2023

Our school was last inspected by OfSTED in April 2023. 

We are very proud of our report, which included the following points: 

• Acton pupils are proud of their school. This shines through in their welcome to visitors and in their eagerness to explain their learning . Pupils understand the school motto, Strive, Support, Succeed. They know how this contributes to their progress and to school life.
• Pupils are kind to each other. They feel safe in school and trust adults to deal with any concerns. Bullying is rare.
• Pupils try hard because leaders want them to do their best. Those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well alongside their peers. 
• Children in the early stages of learning to read get help to catch up if they fall behind.
• Pupils are taught the principles of good behaviour . They respond well to leaders’ high expectations.
• Early years children settle into well established routines.
• Positive relationships are at the heart of the school community.

SIAMS Inspection Reports

The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Acton as a Church of England school are outstanding.

• Excellent links with the church, the community and the Diocese are used to strengthen the school’s Christian ethos: these contribute very well to pupils’ strong spiritual development.
• Christian values are both explicit and implicit throughout the school and impact positively on pupils’ educational experience.
• The involvement of pupils in planning and leading worship with the creation of the Faith Council has significantly raised the profile of worship.
• The creative curriculum provides opportunities for all pupils to develop a greater spiritual awareness.
