With Ofsted giving Caldecott School an overall rating of Good , “Staff place a strong focus on supporting children to have fun, try new things and have a happy life.

Testimonials

"My child loves going to school which is something new since attending Caldecott; she comes home telling us how much she is learning."

"You are all doing a brilliant job, in such strange times. The communication has been excellent and the school, as whole, has really impressed me. (OFSTED 2017)"

"The School's curriculum suits the needs of its pupils well. Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Day trips into the local community are a norm and strengthen pupil's social and emotional development as well as support their academic progress."
