St Michael’s-On-Wyre Church of England Primary School & Nursery has made significant progress since its last inspection, achieving a 'Good' rating in all areas assessed. This inspection marked the school's first routine evaluation in over a decade, following a prolonged exemption from routine inspections due to prior outstanding status and the COVID-19 pandemic. The school fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where pupils feel valued and are encouraged to develop their personal and academic potential. Despite strong performances across many areas, some aspects of the curriculum need refinement to ensure that all pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), consistently achieve to the best of their abilities.
