Ofsted Report

We are delighted that Salcombe received a 'Good' inspection judgement in our most recent OFSTED inspection report.

OFSTED Report

'Salcombe is a good school including good provision for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is successful in preparing pupils to gain entry to selective grammar and independent schools. The school's cheerful, friendly ethos is clearly apparent. The pupils are polite, articulate and courteous and show positive attitudes to learning.

'Across the school and including the Early Years Foundation Stage, teachers successfully establish a purposeful and respectful atmosphere and encourage in their pupils a positive attitude to their learning. The small classes ensure that teachers know each pupil well.'

 'Pupils' self-esteem and their self-confidence are developed successfully and pupils are particularly articulate in expressing themselves. Pupils enjoy their education, as evident in their good attendance, and many made verbal and written comments to support this. One pupil echoed the feelings of the majority and wrote, 'I like everything about Salcombe and I am happy here'.
