Shrewton CE Primary School is celebrating a highly positive outcome following its latest Ofsted inspection.

The inspection confirmed that the school has taken effective action to maintain the high standards identified at its previous inspection.

The inspection, carried out on 20th May 2025, 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 expressed her pride in the outcome, “This report is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our pupils, and the support of our families. We are proud to be a school where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to achieve their best.”

The report commends the work of Anna Howell, Head of School, and the wider leadership team for ensuring 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 further steps to enhance their provision, ensuring that all pupils with SEND are planned for as precisely as possible.

Mark Lacey, CEO of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, added, “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.”
