Ofsted

“Pupils demonstrate their ability to ‘learn together’ through highly effective collaboration.” – Ofsted 2025

Sutton-at-Hone is pleased that the April 2025 inspection recognised the effective actions taken to maintain the high standards established in our previous report.

The outcome highlights the quality of Sutton-at-Hone C of E Primary School’s offering:

  • The school’s vision of learning together is deeply embedded, with pupils working collaboratively, valuing each other’s ideas, and supporting one another across all year groups.
  • Leaders have designed a curriculum that builds knowledge and skills progressively, helping pupils achieve well and retain learning effectively.
  • Behaviour expectations are high, and pupils feel safe, respected, and supported. Older pupils actively mentor younger ones, fostering a strong sense of community.
  • A wide array of clubs, leadership roles, and enrichment activities, including sports, music, and eco initiatives, develop pupils’ confidence and responsibility.
  • Reading is a school-wide priority with consistent phonics instruction, targeted support, and engaging initiatives that foster a genuine love for reading among pupils.
  • School leaders and the trust provide a clear vision, professional development for staff, and a nurturing environment appreciated by both staff and parents.

SIAMS

In September 2023 we had our Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). The Inspection was overwhelmingly positive and as a school we are so proud to be living up to our foundation as a Church school, and enabling pupils and adults to flourish.

  • The school’s Christian vision is transformational and underpins everything the school does. School leaders, governors and trust leaders are committed to ensuring that ‘no child is left behind’.
  • Collective worship is an inspirational time of spiritual flourishing, with the school vision at the heart of it.
  • The school is a family that treats its members well. They take their responsibility of ‘taking care of each other’ seriously as this helps everyone in their ‘striving to be the best.’
  • Pupils, even as young as those in the early years, are inquisitive and thoughtful and engage with big questions in an insightful way.
