Staff and pupils of Lacock Primary School are cock-a-hoop after receiving a glowing report from Ofsted inspectors.

The inspectors described it as an 'improving' school which takes into account the needs of all pupils.

Teaching and learning were recognised as being 'very good' throughout the school, with its broad curriculum enriching children's learning and making good use of the unusual and stimulating local environment.

The Church of England school, which is situated in the main street of the National Trust village, takes pupils from both the rural community and local towns.

Headteacher Sue Worringham was very pleased with the report's findings.

"We are very proud of the fact that all our children achieve well at our school," she said.

Ms Worringham said recommendations in the report would be used to further improve the school.

She said: "We have measures in place to further raise standards for small groups of pupils who come into the school with low attainment."

The chair of governors, the Rev. Sally Wheeler, was very pleased that the headteacher's leadership had been singled out by the inspectors.

"As well as praise for the quality of teaching and staff commitment, the school was commended for the family atmosphere and caring environment that it offers," she added.
