Ofsted inspected Great Tew Primary School in October 2019 and judged the school to be Good, with Outstanding judgements for Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development.
In March 2025, Ofsted carried out an ungraded inspection and concluded that “Great Tew County Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.”
The 2019 report captured the spirit of our school:
“Pupils know that they are lucky to be part of this welcoming village school. Staff expect a lot from pupils and guide them through their school life with kindness and grace. Pupils delight in learning, and all, including the youngest children, are eager scholars. They are spirited and confident learners who give all activities their full commitment and concentration.”
“Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable. Their excellent manners stand out and contribute to the school’s magical atmosphere. Pupils deserve to be proud of how they support each other. They take care of their school and prize its impressive history and reputation.”
The 2025 inspection found that these strengths continue to flourish:
“Pupils are immensely proud of their village school. Staff are nurturing and supportive. Pupils embody the school’s culture of kindness.”
“The school sets high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well.”
We are proud that Ofsted continues to recognise Great Tew Primary School as a place where children are supported to thrive academically, socially and personally within a caring and ambitious school community.
