Awards

We are immensely proud to have been graded 'Good' again after our previous 'Good' inspection in 2010, and 2013. This reflects all the hard work and dedication by the staff, governors, children and parents and is so well-deserved.

SMSC: We were awarded Gold in Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development is the over-arching umbrella that encompasses personal development both in and out of the curriculum. OFSTED put SMSC 'at the heart' of school development. 

It focuses a school on thinking about the kind of people we aspire to be, the kind of world we aspire to create and the kind of education we aspire to provide. 

In September 2022, Philip Southcote was awarded Learning Outside The Classroom (LOtC) Silver award.

The LOtC Mark is the only national accreditation that supports and celebrates educational settings who provide meaningful experiences beyond the classroom across the whole curriculum, indoors and out, on and off-site.

This award supports the professional development of Teaching Assistants and boosts their impact on positive pupil outcomes. 

Working with Teaching Assistants' particular skills, talents and expertise to develop the learning and progress of pupils.

The Healthy Schools Awards: approach applies evidenced based practice promoting positive physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing, and identifies 5 key themes:

In June 2022 we achieved the prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag - an internationally recognised award for excellence in environmental action and learning.  We are proud of our commitment to raising environmental awareness and making a positive impact on the wider community. 

This award has been granted to us as a consequence of our demonstration of good practice in our Online Safety policy and procedures. Before being awarded, assessors met with a range of staff, pupils, parents and governors, carrying out a review of our policies, minutes and audit logs.
