A SALISBURY school has been praised by inspectors for providing children with a “remarkable” understanding of the world delivered in an environment with a “palpable buzz”.

South Wilts Grammar School maintains a rating of good after a recent ungraded inspection by Ofsted inspectors, with a full inspection set to follow in the next 12 to 18 months.

The ungraded report highlighted the school’s welcoming and vibrant environment, with students expressing exceptional pride in being part of the community, with inspectors praising the school’s ambitious and well-adapted curriculum and the way staff inspire intellectual curiosity in students.

“South Wilts Grammar School has truly shone in this inspection, and we are delighted that Ofsted observed what we know to be true; that this is a wonderful school providing the best possible education for its students,” said head teacher, Dr Amanda Smith.

Behaviour at the school was described as exemplary, with students demonstrating high levels of respect for one another, while inspectors also noted the warm and trusting relationships between staff and students.

Chair of Trustees, Liz Ogilvie, added: “We are incredibly proud of this report, which is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our staff, students, and the support of our parents and carers.”

The full Ofsted report will soon be available on the school’s website and the Ofsted website.
