Allington is an outstanding school (July 2022). Pupils and parents alike are very positive about their experiences of the school, often pointing to its ability to foster high academic standards within a friendly and supportive atmosphere.   Pupils flourish at this 'remarkably inclusive' school where staff are 'relentlessly ambitious for every pupil'.  

Pupils flourish at this inclusive and nurturing school. Staff are united in their ambition for every pupil to achieve their full potential.

Leaders have designed a rich curriculum that includes carefully sequenced knowledge that pupils need to learn.

The wider personal development curriculum is a strength in this school. Leaders take their responsibility for preparing pupils for success in the wider, diverse world very seriously.

Pupils behave exceptionally well across the school and live up to the high expectations leaders have. There is a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. This is demonstrated in the genuine care pupils show towards each other.
