Salcombe Church of England Primary School, currently part of the First Federation Trust, is undergoing changes in leadership and staffing that have impacted its performance since its previous good rating in 2021. Despite having a supportive and nurturing environment where pupils feel proud to belong, the school's curriculum has not been effectively established. As a result, pupils are not achieving their full potential, particularly in applying their learning across subjects. The school’s next inspection will be graded, reflecting the concerns about maintaining high standards of education.
