OFSTED and SIAMS Reports

Please read our OFSTED Report,  December 2022.  

We were last inspected in December 2022.  We are delighted to have been seen to continue to improve and have once again been judged to be  Good in all areas.

During the course of the visit the inspectors carried out lesson observations, looked at children's books, heard children read and interviewed pupils, staff and governors. They also carried out a thorough scrutiny of our safeguarding procedures. 

Thank you to all the parents who completed the OFSTED questionnaire and to the  parents who spoke to the Inspector in person.

Please also read our Church School SIAMS Report, December 2023. We are delighted to tell you that the inspection findings indicate that St Helen's Church of England Primary School is living up to its foundations as a Church school.

Assessment Results

“The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.  They have archived data from the 2018 and 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.”
