Latest Ofsted Inspection

Padbury School had an Ofsted inspection on 8th December 2008

The inspector was very impressed with how confident and articulate our children were and especially how well they develop "because of the caring nature of the whole school". Overall he found us to be good but highlighted some outstanding features. The few development needs raised had already been identified by the school and are in progress, including plans for a new outdoor classroom.

"The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Padbury as a Church of England school are outstanding"

"The school's extremely strong Christian ethos, very well supported by a dynamic and dedicated team of staff and governors, make it a vibrant and exciting place in which to grow and learn. It has high expectations of attitude and learning and creates a strong culture of mutual care and respect. This, together with very close links to the parish church, ensure that its status as a church school is both recognised and welcomed by the local community."
