Latest Ofsted Report

Ofsted June 2024 – A note from the Chair of governors:

I am delighted to share that Redhill had been judged as Outstanding in every category. The Ofsted framework is precise and exacting, and the judgements spanned six key areas all of which were graded as Outstanding and therefore the overall judgement is Outstanding. Governors met with the inspectors and to hear verbal feedback in which words such as exceptional, outstanding, phenomenal, inspiring were used throughout. Another theme was teamwork, coaching and the fact that at every layer the areas consistently permeated the concept of ‘a valued me’ which as you know is the mission.

It was amazing to hear the way that the children could convey their learning and the fact that the school staff and parents were so behind the Head and the school. This outcome is testament to the hard work of the school staff and the partnership of parents. Best of all, it shines a light on the wonderful, articulate students and their love of learning and contribution to their school. We should be elated with the result! Redhill continues to deliver an exemplary standard of education for its children, and we should be rightly proud.

The inspection identified many elements of exceptional practice that are worthy of sharing on a local and national scale. This is testament to the Headteacher’s inspiring leadership and her skilled team and reflects the talents of the children at Redhill. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your continued support during the inspection and to those of you that responded to Ofsted’s parental survey. We are rightly very proud of the students and staff and grateful for the continued support of families.
