INSPECTION REPORTS
All three of our schools, together with our Governing Body run pre-school, were inspected by Ofsted during the Spring and Summer Terms of 2023. We are delighted to report that all four inspections found our school to be good. We are incredibly proud of what we offer our children across the federation and are thrilled that this has been recognised by Ofsted.

Lynton and Parracombe Primary Schools were also inspected under the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). These inspections focused on how our Christian vision enables the whole school community to flourish. Again, we are delighted to report that both inspections were extremely positive and testament to all that we hold dear as a federation - the need to nurture our children to ensure that they have the very best possible start to their school career.
'The vision is at the heart of this community, permeating and shaping daily life. It creates a caring inclusive feeling, leading to all treating one another with a high degree of dignity and respect.'
'Pupils articulate that the vision helps them to ‘live better’ or to become ‘the best person they can be’. It nurtures pupils’ high aspirations
and raises self-belief in what each can achieve.'
'A culture of high expectations raises pupils’ aspirations, growing their self-belief.'
'Leaders are ambitious to create inspiring experiences, ensuring the curriculum is balanced, diverse and progressively deepens pupils’ understanding.'
'A wide range of opportunities enable pupils to grow their talents and develop a love of learning.'
'One of the strengths of the school is the trusting and supportive relationships built between everyone. They draw on Jesus’ example of how all can live together well. All treat one another with a high degree of dignity and respect, pupils feel safe and important. They not only know the vision, they live it out.'
