Deptford Green School has made significant improvements since its last inspection and is now performing well overall. The school creates a safe and nurturing environment where students appreciate the strong relationships they have with staff. Leaders have raised aspirations and have implemented a broad and rich curriculum aligned with national standards. While there are instances of strong performance in creative subjects and a commitment to improving literacy and reading skills, the school continues to face challenges such as inconsistent curriculum delivery due to recruitment issues in some subject areas. The school also has a resource unit for students with autism, which enhances its inclusivity.
