Selside Endowed CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, as confirmed by the recent inspection. Pupils take pride in their learning environment and engage enthusiastically with a range of activities offered by the school, benefitting from its rural location. The high expectations for learning in English and mathematics are met well, with staff effectively supporting students, including those with SEND. While the school has successfully embedded core curriculums, there is a need to refine the sequencing in some broader subjects to enhance pupils' overall knowledge acquisition and preparedness for future stages of education.
