Canon Burrows CofE Primary School is performing well overall, being rated as 'Good' in the latest inspection. Notable strengths include exceptional behaviour and attitudes amongst pupils, as well as outstanding personal development. The curriculum is effective in providing a structured approach to learning and supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well, allowing them to engage meaningfully in the same curriculum as their peers. However, the longer gap since the last inspection, due to legal exemptions, has contributed to some inconsistencies in subject strengths and clarity in pupils' learning retention.
