Everyone is welcomed and included at John Keble, no matter when they join the school. Pupils are happy at this nurturing and inclusive school.

Parents and carers are very positive about how leaders and staff care for their children. One parent summed this up by describing how leaders have created an environment where each pupil can grow in their uniqueness but also contribute to the whole.  

Leaders have thought very carefully about how to support the development of pupils’ character and the ethos of the school underpins this. Pupils spoke about the importance of ‘everyone has worth’ and that they are all unique and special. 

Leaders have high expectations of the way pupils behave and learn. Pupils’ behaviour in class and around the school reflects this. They do their best to act in a calm and considerate manner.

Leaders continually think about how best to ensure that pupils learn and achieve well. 

Leaders have high expectations of what pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can achieve [...] Leaders and teachers make a range of adaptations to ensure that pupils’ needs are met and that they are supported to access the curriculum.

The curriculum that pupils follow is designed with ambition, underpinned by clear expectations.

The school is graded excellent in areas in our SIAMS inspection.
