Ashill Community Primary School

Ashill Community Primary School is performing well overall, achieving a 'Good' rating in various areas, including the quality of education, leadership, and early years provision. Behaviour and attitudes are particularly outstanding, promoting a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and supported. The school, part of the Academies for Character and Excellence trust, is relatively new to inspection, having not been inspected since converting to an academy in 2020. The previous inspection's absence reflects a significant gap that may still require attention in terms of curriculum delivery and addressing learning gaps in various subjects. The school excels in fostering a positive learning experience with strong relationships built among staff, pupils, and parents. There are notable efforts towards inclusivity and supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. However, there are still areas of concern, particularly regarding gaps in pupils' knowledge, especially in science and the wider curriculum, which the school is actively working to address. Engagement with parents and the community is strong, but further development is needed in educating pupils about British values and diversity to better prepare them for modern British life.
