Saxton Church of England Primary School has made significant progress since its last inspection, moving from a previous grade of 'requires improvement' to 'good' across all areas of assessment, including quality of education and leadership. The school boasts a strong and supportive community where pupils thrive under a Christian ethos. They benefit from well-tailored educational experiences, particularly in reading and mathematics, supported by dedicated staff who understand and address the diverse needs of students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, there are some concerns regarding the clarity and implementation of certain elements of the curriculum that are still in the early stages of development. Leaders are actively addressing these challenges to ensure continuous improvement.
