St. Aubyn's Early Years provision was rated as a significant strength in the school's May 2025 ISI Inspection Report: "Leaders in the early years ensure that staff consistently observe and reflect on the learning of every child with considerable knowledge and skill. Staff identify children's needs and devise activities that are precisely matched to their interests and prior attainment, which has a significant impact on their learning and progress. Leaders prioritise the importance of frequent developmental supervision meetings for early years staff, which results in a culture of highly reflective practice. This is a significant strength of the school."
