Soho Parish CofE Primary School continues to be rated as 'good' following its latest inspection, but some findings suggest this grade may not reflect the school's performance if a graded inspection occurred soon. The school is praised for creating a supportive and nurturing environment where pupils enjoy learning and feel valued. However, the curriculum, particularly in some subjects, requires further development and embedding, and student achievement is being hindered as a result. Future inspections are anticipated to provide clearer insight into any shifts in performance.
