Hook Lane is a “Good” school.

Summary of Key Findings:   

We are very proud of our most recent Ofsted report following our inspection on 24th and 25th May 2023. These are some of the key findings from the inspection:

• Pupils are happy and safe at this school.
• Pupils from different backgrounds and with different needs play and learn together harmoniously.
• Pupils study a well-thought-out curriculum. This includes pupils with SEND who access the same rich curriculum as their classmates.
• Leaders have developed a genuine sense of community here so that parents and carers feel involved in school life.
• Leaders and teachers have high expectations for what pupils can achieve.
• Confidence-building starts in the very early years. 
• Pupils with SEND are quickly identified and are very well supported to study the same curriculum as their classmates.
• A rich and stimulating learning environment in the early years encourages pupils to recognise letters and sounds.
• Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They know that unkind or discriminatory language is not tolerated.
• Leaders ensure that pupils are developed beyond the academic curriculum. As well as the wide range of enrichment activities in school, pupils are encouraged to be active and kind citizens.
• Leaders have a clear understanding of the school's strengths and areas for further improvement. Staff are proud to work in the school.
• Leaders have established a culture of vigilance in the school and act swiftly upon any concerns raised. Pupils feel safe.

What will we be working to improve further?
