Lorton School had a one day Ofsted inspection in June 2025.   We were delighted that the inspection team recognised the effective measures we have implemented at Lorton School to maintain the good standards acknowledged in our last inspection.

As an ungraded inspection, no specific grades are given for overall effectiveness or individual areas of our provision.  You can read a full copy of the inspection report below; however, we would like to highlight some notable findings:

• Pupils enjoy attending this small and nurturing school. They are happy.
• The school and the trust have high expectations for pupils’ achievement. Pupils learn a broad and engaging curriculum.
• The school sets high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils open doors for visitors and show politeness and good manners around the school.
• The school prioritises reading. Many pupils become confident and fluent readers.
• The programme to support pupils’ wider development is well considered. Pupils take part in a range of experiences beyond the academic curriculum, including sports clubs and singing events.
• Pupils are considerate towards each other and towards staff.

The areas for development that the team identified were areas that we had already recognised and are actively working on as part of our development plan for the upcoming year. We were pleased to see that the support from our Local Governing Body and central Trust team was also recognised. The strong staff team ethos was also noted and we would like to extend our thanks to the staff team and everyone who has supported the school.
