Little Bollington CofE Primary School is currently assessed as requiring improvement. While the school has implemented a revamped curriculum with support from its trust, the impact on student learning remains inconsistent across different subjects. Strengths include a positive school culture, where pupils enjoy a supportive and friendly environment, and their behaviour is commendable. Nonetheless, challenges persist in ensuring that all students, especially those with additional needs, are achieving to their full potential due to gaps in curriculum delivery and understanding of foundational knowledge in some areas. This is the school’s first inspection since it opened, and it is operating under the Chester Diocesan Academy Trust.
