Inspectors’ Findings 

What is it like to attend this school?

Wendell Park is highly inclusive. The right of everyone to be respected and included is central to the ethos and interwoven throughout school life. Core values are promoted through the ‘five C’s’ – caring, challenge, co-operation, confidence and celebration. Leaders have designed an aspirational curriculum that recognises and celebrates diversity. An example of this can be seen in the wide range of books that pupils read. This work helps to support pupils’ readiness for life in modern Britain.

Pupils are happy and kept safe. They said that this is because there are always teachers that they can turn to if they have any concerns. They trust adults in school to help them when they need it.

Pupils behave well. This is because leaders and staff have put in place clear, consistent routines. Bullying is not tolerated and it happens rarely. When it does occur, it is dealt with swiftly.

The curriculum is broad and ambitious. In most subjects, the curriculum helps pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding effectively. As a result, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
