SIAS inspection
The church inspection, July 2012, found that we are a GOOD school with OUTSTANDING features.
‘Effective leadership and management by the acting headteacher and foundation governors ensures that a distinctive Christian ethos is central to the life of the school. Their understanding, along with the commitment of staff and support of parents, combines to provide a good education underpinned by Christian values for all pupils.’
Established strengths
‘The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Lacock Voluntary Controlled Primary School as a Church of England school is good.’
‘The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is good at meeting the needs of all learners.’
‘The impact of collective worship on the school community is good’
‘The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the school as a church school are good’
‘Partnerships between the school, church and local community are outstanding.’
‘The Jubilee Project, which involved pupils and members of the village engaging together in art projects, is an excellent example of this. Pupils describe the impact on them saying “it helps us to understand that all people in our village are important…we make new friends of all ages, have fun and help others”.’
