Ofsted
Our inspection in November 2023 graded the school as Good in all areas.
The following is a direct quote from the report
"Pupils are proud to be part of the Mayespark community. School life is underpinned
by the core values of respect, determination, honesty, unity, love and politeness.
Pupils relish the opportunity to become a ‘values ambassador’ through being a good
role model of these values.
Pupils rise to the school’s high expectations for their learning and behaviour. In
lessons, they are focused and on task. They take their learning seriously and achieve
well across the curriculum. At break- and lunchtimes, they play happily, enjoying the
range of activities available to them. Relationships between staff and pupils are
based on mutual respect. Pupils trust adults to deal with any issues if these arise.
Pupils are safe in school and well cared for.
The school is committed to promoting the development of the whole child. Pupils
have a wide range of opportunities that broaden their experiences. They can attend
a variety of after-school clubs, such as those for cookery, art or glow-football. They
also have the opportunity to take on roles of responsibility, such as those of a school
council member, a reading buddy or a young leader. Pupils are involved in regular
fundraising events. They also contribute to the local community through events such
as singing in the local residential home for older people. Pupils have been involved
in local campaigns to improve their community and have also taken part in a ‘big
educational conversation’ project at the town hall."
