Hazlemere Church of England Combined School has been rated as good overall, with notable strengths in its commitment to high expectations for pupil behavior and a strong emphasis on reading across the school. Pupils demonstrate respect and responsibility, contributing to a positive learning environment. However, the school is facing challenges in early years provision, where learning management is less effective compared to other areas, and there are concerns about staff knowledge, particularly in supporting children's language development. This was the first routine inspection since the pandemic, and the school's leaders are actively working to improve the curriculum across all subjects.
