A SCHOOL in Shrewton has upheld its high standards, according to an inspection by Ofsted.

Inspectors came to Shrewton CE Primary School on May 30 for an update, with the previous inspection finding the school to be ‘good’ in all areas.

This year’s inspection praised the school’s strong leadership, inclusive ethos, and commitment to excellence.

The report highlights the school’s “broad, ambitious curriculum,” the “high expectations” of staff, and the “respect and kindness” that underpin relationships across the school community.

Executive Headteacher Emily Mullord said she is proud of the outcome.

“This report is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our pupils, and the support of our families,” she said.

“We are proud to be a school where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to achieve their best.”

The report shone a light on the work of the head of the school, Anna Howell, and the wider leadership team who have ensured that pupils are “motivated and engaged learners” who are “well prepared for the next stage in their education.”

Inspectors also noted the school’s strong reading culture, inclusive support for pupils with SEND, and its commitment to pupils’ wider development through outdoor learning and leadership opportunities.

Parents’ views were overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing that their children “look forward to attending each day.”

The school’s nurturing environment and strong community links were also highlighted as key strengths.

School leaders are taking steps to further enhance their provision by ensuring that all pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are planned for as precisely as possible.

Mark Lacey, CEO of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, said: “We are delighted with the outcome of this inspection.

“It reflects the hard work of the entire team at Shrewton and their unwavering commitment to providing a high-quality education rooted in care, ambition, and community.

“We are proud to have them as part of our family of schools.”
