The latest inspection highlighted the school’s commitment to creating a safe and inclusive learning environment where pupils thrive academically and socially.

Ofsted praised the school for its high expectations for achievement and behaviour, noting ‘pupils enjoy attending the school and their improving attendance reflects the school’s thoughtful approach to promoting regular attendance’. 

The report went on to commend the ‘calm and orderly’ school for its ambitious curriculum and ‘carefully designed’ learning environments where pupils are ‘keen to share their learning with visitors’ and ‘children in the early years interact well with each other.’

“I am so, so proud of everything we have achieved since the last inspection. This report reflects all the hard work and determination by everybody involved with Beckfield, and it feels really great to have the improvements recognised. 

“Our goal has always been to support children to achieve their best and to be confident, ambitious learners. The report means the start of another new chapter for our wonderful school and we're all very excited about what it will bring.”

Headteacher Caroline Watkiss
