"Good" Ofsted Report for Snainton Primary School

Snainton Church of England Primary School is celebrating after receiving a Good rating from Ofsted.

Inspectors visited the School in January and gave the school "good" classifications in all areas.

Headteacher, Matthew Davies, said:

"The outcome of the inspection is a very welcome one and provides further evidence of the ambitious education our school offers all children.

The school benefits from very close links with its village community and all families report feeling proud that their children attend the school.

We are excited for the future as we are adding an additional class in Key Stage 2 from September 2024 to ensure we have capacity for further growth."

Inspectors said:

"Pupils display positive attitude s towards school . They are proud to be part of its community. Pupils play well with those from different year groups. The school teaches pupils what it means to be respectful to wards each other and to recognise differences in opinion. This enables pupils to develop positive relationships with each other. Most pupils attend school regularly. They enjoy earning stamps in their punctuality passport to spend in the punctuality shop at the end of the week Pupils recognise that it is important to be at school on time

The school provides effective support to enable pupils to achieve well. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) contribute effectively to the life of the school through roles such as those of school councillors and play leaders. Pupils carry out these leadership responsibilities with maturity. School councillors work with their peers to find ways to develop the school further This has included successfully establishing a food swap shop at the school.

Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive of the school . They appreciate the opportunities that the school provides to involve them in their child s learning and development. Assemblies to celebrate pupils work and family film night s contribute to the school s welcoming and inclusive ethos"

Councillor David Jeffels, the Derwent Valley and Moor member for North Yorkshire council, said:

“Snainton school’s excellent Ofsted report is a great credit to all the staff, pupils and parents. Its reputation has resulted in a significant increase in pupils including a number from outside the catchment area.

The support  the village community, especially the families of the children in fundraising to enhance its facilities has been very welcome and the school has been able to benefit from North Yorkshire Council’s Locality Budget.

It is a fine example of an excellent school which is much valued by the village because of its splendid educational attainments and the vision of the head, Matthew Davies and his team.”
